Standing ovations, audience participation and some good old fashioned heckling signified the usual mixed bag of performances on Monday night at The Place.
Here's what's new and what's closing this week in London. There are a lot of things on our last chance to see list: make sure you don’t miss out!
Add a little excitement and intrigue to your cultural January. See new contemporary dance at Resolution!
Most Tuesdays, we like to let you know what's happening in the next seven days on London's cultural calendar. With very little in the way of new openings in London this week, we've decided to look a little further ahead so you can plan your arty choices for the next 12 months. Here's what's new in 2011.
What happens when Bourgeois & Maurice, an alt-cabaret act that purports to dance like disequilibriated dromedaries, takes to the stage of one of the country's foremost dance venues? Matter, meet anti-matter and stand well back.
As Christmas creeps closer, London's cultural calendar rolls over and lets its tummy be tickled by endless children's shows and pantomimes. Where else in the world can you see a Hamlet adapted for kids in the same city as the Hoff stars as Hook in Peter Pan? There's also Japanese cinema, American art and French farce. And dancing squirrels.
The Snowman and Christmas go together like snow and TfL apologies so it's unsurprising that this largely wordless adaption by the Birmingham Repertory Theatre of Raymond Brigg's 1978 graphic novel is returning to Sadler's Wells' Peacock Theatre.
In the next seven days you can explore all kinds of exciting arty things in London. There's Chinese robes, a Cinderella set in the Blitz, photos of the Clash, and Antony and Cleopatra at the Roundhouse. Stars taking to the stage include Derek Jacobi, Mark Gatiss, Catherine Tate and Anita Dobson. You can see modern pantos and learn about ancient frost fairs. And everyone's favourite pink cat takes to the stage...

There's also a smattering of exciting new contemporary art shows, and a new Climate Change gallery opening at the Science Museum...
‘I don’t understand… but I’m not the only one’
The Southbank Centre's Move Weekend discussed the relationship between politics and human movement last night.
The Good Life's Margot hits the West End tonight as Mrs Malaprop in The Rivals. Other new theatre shows this week include two shows from the fantastic Little Angel Puppet Theatre, and the first of London's big pantos for Christmas 2010. Our art recommendations include shows in Hampstead, at the ICA, and the National Maritime Museum...
