The Review - THEATRE
Published: 14 August 2008

In the wings

• PIRATES, fairies and wizards invade the well-kept grounds of Lauderdale House in the forthcoming weeks, offering children strange and wonderful new worlds to explore. A “Magical Fairy Woodland Workshop” – essentially a how-to guide for aspiring little fairies – starts proceedings on August 19, 2-4pm. The Shiver-me-timbers Pirate workshop the following week requires no explanation. Call event organisers Dreamcatcher on 07896 040 145 for more information.

• SHAGGY dog stories to hang jokes on, PowerPoint presentations and obscure themes like the history of paperclips – comedian Chris McCausland has had enough of it all.
That’s why the comic will be extending two fingers to the gimmicks of the Edinburgh Festival comedy circuit and plying his own brand of unpretentious gags at the Liberties Bar this August, as part of the Camden Fringe. From August 14-17.

• CONGRATULATIONS to the winners of the recent ticket giveaway for Under the Blue Sky, starring Catherine Tate at the Duke of York‘s Theatre. Lucky readers Bernie North, Betty Burrows, K Norman, Jon Attfield, and Marcela Cuneo each win a pair of tickets to see the critically acclaimed show, which cleverly weaves three tales of 21st-century love and lust.

• PHALLIC-obsessed architects bicker for the attentions of an innocent design student in Erect!, a new play at the Hen and Chickens Theatre in Islington.
The playwright, Ioannis Balaskas, read architecture at university so the tale of “sex and obscurity” may be based on personal experience. From August 19-September 6.
