Explore London’s vibrant cultural scene with theatre, art, and music events during the festive Twixtmas period
London: It’s that time of year again, the post-Christmas lull we call Twixtmas. You know, when you can’t remember what day it is? It’s the perfect chance to kick back and enjoy some great shows, art, and music around the city.
Why is this time special? Well, most folks are still with family or haven’t come back yet, and tourists are pretty much gone. The usual hustle and bustle of the holiday season has calmed down, making it a great time to explore London’s cultural gems without the crowds.
So, let’s dive into some of the best things you can do during Twixtmas!
First up, we have Sigourney Weaver making her West End debut in The Tempest. Can you believe it? She’s taking on the role of Prospero at Theatre Royal, and it’s the first Shakespeare play there in nearly 70 years! Talk about a must-see!
Then there’s the Fragile Beauty exhibition at the V&A, showcasing Elton John’s personal photography collection. It features stunning works from famous photographers and is only around until January 5, so don’t miss out!
If you’re in the mood for laughs, check out Bill Bailey’s Thoughtifier at Theatre Royal Haymarket. He’s got a knack for making people chuckle, and this show is packed with his unique humor and some cool tech!
For something a bit different, Ruination at the Royal Ballet is back. It’s a clever ballet retelling of the Medea myth, and it’s just as captivating as when it first premiered.
And if you’re itching to dance, head over to Village Underground in Shoreditch for a night with DJ TDJ. She’s bringing some awesome Eurotrance vibes to keep the party going!
Lastly, don’t forget to catch the Robbie Williams biopic, Better Man, in cinemas. It’s a wild ride with a CGI chimp playing Robbie, and surprisingly, it’s really good!
So, whether you’re into theatre, art, or just want to have a good time, London has got you covered this Twixtmas!
