Friday 2 May, Soho Theatre Walthamstow opened to a packed house guffawing appreciatively to the antics of Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner Natalie Palamides in her acclaimed one-person-two-parts show, Weer.
A performance venue and more (cinema, church, bar, derelict site) since 1897, the newly launched Soho Theatre Walthamstow lights up an otherwise fairly ‘meh’ stretch of the Walthamstow’s Hoe Street. Like the original Soho Theatre (actually in Soho), the new northeast London sister site is to feature a variety of theatre, comedy and cabaret acts. Top bill performers such as Tim Minchin and Dara O’Briain are slated to hit the stage graced by Duke Ellington, the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones in decades past.
