Modern comedies

Fringe theatre expert Maxie Szalwinska picks the best things to see beyond the beaten track of London's West End in her regular Fringe benefits column and blog.

Thanks, as always, for your tips last fortnight. Fringe benefits took one of your suggestions and went to see Hotel Methusaleh. You'll find a review in this week's roundup. Do tell me what's in your theatre-going diary at the moment. Here are a few of the Fringe shows I've already pencilled in:

Loyalties John Galsworthy's drama gets its first London revival in 75 years. Phil Wilmott directs. At the Finborough from April 25 - May 20.

Saved or Destroyed A company of actors play a bickering family on a seaside holiday in Harry Kondoleon's play-within-a-play about make-believe and reality. At BAC from April 18-30.

4.48 Psychosis This chorus production of Sarah Kane's final play transfers to the Arcola's atmospheric basement studio after a successful run at the Old Red Lion. From April 24 - May 20.

Visible New, blackly comic show about having it all, but still wanting more from the homeless people's theatre company, Cardboard Citizens. At Soho Theatre from April 25 - May 6.
