Here's your guide to some of the best things to do in the week ahead:

 

  • Aladdin

Tottenham Independent:

Join Aladdin, Princess Jasmine and the rest of the gang in Saint Monica’s Players’ adaptation of the much loved classic. Will Aladdin and Princess Jasmine find true love? Will the evil Abanazar win the day? Will anyone ever be able to pronounce his name? The only way to find out is to see the show which is directed by Luke Clow and promises to be packed with great gags, stunning singing, dazzling dancing and songs from the ‘70s to the current top ten and even an original song written for the show.

Intimate Theatre, Palmers Green, January 22 to 25, 7.30pm with 2.30pm weekend matinees. Details: 0844 414 2731, smptheatre.co.uk 

 

  • Tales from the Shed 

These vibrant, interactive theatre shows are perfect for young children who will be encouraged to make lots of noise as each week different stories are introduced featuring the same much loved characters – from Can-Can the beautiful bird to laid-back Lion Down and The Thing That Goes Blurgh.
