INTERVIEW: Writer & Performer Guido García Lueches on Playing Latinx at Soho Theatre
Ahead of a short run at the Soho Theatre (Playing Latinx | Soho Theatre | 10-13 April | From £16) – which made it on to a certain monthly preview list you might’ve heard of – we caught up with Guido García Lueches to talk about award-winning show Playing Latinx, influences & inspirations, immigrant experiences, drag, and Things To Do in London!
It’s a half theatre show, half stand up, trying to sneak some strong political points in between the laughs? Is it even possible to make strong political points while dancing salsa with an audience member? Come find out!
INTERVIEW: Theatre-maker Rhianna Ilube on Immersive, Anti-Colonial Show 1884
This April, game-makers Coney will turn Shoreditch Town Hall’s Council Chamber into an immersive theatrical experience written by Rhianna Ilube. Intrigued by the playable theatre experience of 1884 (1884 | Shoreditch Town Hall | 17-27 April | £20), we caught up with Rhianna to talk about the show, influences & inspirations, difficult histories, and Things To Do in London!
1884 is an immersive-game theatre show, loosely inspired by the legacy and impact of the 1884 Berlin conference on the African continent. Audiences will be invited to become ‘family groups’ in a new fictional town, and engage in a series of fun, playful activities to build a new community. I don’t want to give too much away, but not all will be as it seems… there are plenty of twists and turns along the way.
