What’s on this weekend: Ugly Lies The Bone, Montagues and Capulets and The Image of Motherhood

Ugly Lies The Bone at The National Theatre in Southbank

Ugly Lies The Bone written by award-winning American playwright Lindsey Ferrentino is a play about Jess, a woman who returns to her home in Florida after doing three tours in Afghanistan. In a futuristic setting, Jess must confront her scars and her home that may have changed even more than she had. Experimenting with pioneering virtual reality therapy, she creates a new world where she is able to escape her pain and then focus on restoring her relationships, her life and herself. This play includes a spectacular cast including Ralf Little and Chris Marshall. If you are in the area, visit our Westminster office, only a short bus ride a long the Thames.


The Image of Motherhood at Tate Britain in Millbank

If you're looking to do something a little different with your Mum this Mother's Day, then head to the Tate Britain where curator Catherine McCormack will be guiding people through the 'sacred' images of mothers shown in early Christian iconography right up to the maternal works of 20th century artists. The cult of motherhood has been celebrated for thousands of years; from the ancient Egyptians worship of the goddess Isis through to the Early Christians honouring of Virgin Mary. See how shifting cultural perceptions of the motherhood have been translated into art on this special Mother's Day tour of Tate Britain's collection. If you're interested in looking at properties to rent in the Millbank area, drop into our Westminster office which is only a short walk from Tate Britain.

Montagues and Capulets at The Colab Theatre in Borough


Montagues and Capulets is an immersive theatre production of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet but with a unique and modern twist. Set in a warehouse in the 1990's, audience members are asked to dress up in 90's themed fancy dress and then join either the house of the Capulets or the Montagues. The audience decides where the story goes through the choices they make and actions they take and inevitably sealing the characters' fate, making every performance different from the next. The lovers' death is a result of the war between families and this immersive performance will make the audience feel responsible, highlighting the tragedy of an 'us and them' culture. Situated at the Colab Theatre in Borough, our London Bridge office is only a short walk away.
