Things to do in London this weekend: 15–17 December
From the chance to be serenaded by Nashville's rising stars, to a brand-new Christmas market and another Nutcracker, here's what not to miss.
Paweł Pawlikowski’s black-and-white movie about an intoxicating Cold War romance, doomed from the start, is adapted for the stage by Conor McPherson, with its Polish folk-preserving raison d'etre dialled up and additional songs from Elvis Costello capturing the focal characters' bitter longing. Under the direction of Rupert Goold, this sprawling, troubled love story develops slowly and soulfully, earning our investment with each new twist and turn.
WHEN
Until Saturday 27 January
WHERE
Almeida Theatre, Almeida Street, London N1 1TA
