Early reviews are proving the new play from director Jay Miller & Pamela Carter is going to be another hit, after the awesome The Mikvah Project earlier in the year. The British Army is put under a microscope as Lines explores the effect of military training on young people today.

‘Judge Judy meets Whose Line is it Anyway’ in this hilarious riot of a night out at The Phoenix.
yellowbluepink: Ann Veronica Jenssen | Wellcome Collection, Euston | 10am-6pm Tues-Sat – 10am-10pm on Thurs & Sun 11am-6pm until Sun 3 Jan | FREE
The wait time was 1 hour 15 minutes on Saturday but we’re sure this exhibition is worth it. Why not try a week day or Wellcome Collection late nights on Thursdays.
The Groundnut | St John’s Hall, London Bridge | Until Sat 12 Dec | 7.30pm | £30
The Groundnut returns for another residency at St John’s Hall, promising a mouth-watering menu inspired by African heritage of founders Folayemi Brown, Duval Timothy & Jacob Fodio.
They Say: The menu is always evolving, so if you come to The Groundnut dinners you’ll never eat the same thing twice (you can get a taste for what we serve here) but I guess something else that sets us apart is how much we invest in the other aspects of dinner, away from the food. Check out our interview with The Groundnut team & enter our competition to win a copy of The Groundnut cookbook!
