In the wings

A RECKLESS world of hedonism and skullduggery lurks beneath the veneer of 1930s upper-class respectability in JB Priestley’s elegant thriller Dangerous Corner. The Tower Theatre Company retreads this tale of mysterious death, high society and an incriminating musical cigarette box at The Bridewell Theatre for one week only, from July 7-July 11. A Q&A with director Nigel Martin and his cast and crew follows the Thursday performance.

LIGHTS of the West End will rub shoulders with aspiring singers at Camden’s Theatro Technis next week. Written and directed by Kenneth-Avery Clark (who has played alongside Lee Evans, Nathan Lane and Elaine Paige), One Short Day is actually on for two days (8pm, July 6-7) at the Mornington Crescent venue. Theatre names Lisa Donmall, John Barr and Ian Stroughair perform alongside drama students from the Stageworks Training programme in a musical comedy about a group of thespians trapped in a haunted theatre. Tickets are £16. For more information go to www. stageworktraining.co.uk

WRINGING laughter from the struggle for peace in the Middle East sounds like a hard task, but Ivor Dembina is not one to shy away from a challenge. The Jewish comedian riffs on last year’s highly successful Edinburgh solo show This is Not a Subject for Comedy in a series of Tea Time Comedy events at Covent Garden’s Poetry Café. Support comes in the form of James Sherwood on July 11, Pat Burtscher on July 18, and “musical genius and international sex symbol” Earl Okin on July 25. Poetry Cafe, Betterton Street, WC2. 4pm. Tickets £5, concs £4. 07905 917425.
