Join Improbable for a film noir with added beartastic facts and revenge songs.
Angela is a solicitor’s clerk. She works with the defence team during criminal trials. The job brings her face to face with people accused of GBH, rape and murder.
In the cells under the Old Bailey, Angela meets her client who is on trial for murder. “I didn’t do it.” He says. “The Bear did it.” He’s obviously lying. Or mad. This is London after all. But when she examines all the evidence, reads all the files, there it is again. The Bear. Someone else saw it. Without quite knowing why, Angela finds herself hunting the Bear. Until she discovers the Bear is hunting her.
A taut, tense and funny show about an everyday murder and a mythic bear.

Have you ever had the urge to peek through a key hole? Take a glimpse into a lavish world where the rich know no bounds. Indulge in the schemes and frivolous antics of France’s pre-revolutionary aristocracy through the eyes of two of its most dissolute individuals, Marquise de Merteuil and her on and off lover Vicomte de Valmont.
… Les Liaisons re-imagines Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’s 18th century novel ‘The Dangerous Liaisons’ , by fusing the text with innovative physical theatre to a backdrop of Baroque music: a contemporary immersion into an 18th century world of decadence and debauchery.
Directed by Jacek Ludwig Scarso (Senior Lecturer and Artistic Director of award-winning Elastic Theatre), this is an LMU Performing Arts graduation show, performed at Jacksons Lane Theatre.

This walk lasts about two and a half hours and involves picking and eating various bits and pieces as we go along with lots of different new foods and drinks to try (made from different wild foods I have previously picked, cooked, fermented, pickled etc), identifying plenty of edible plants and discussion touching on numerous topics including, nutrition, medicine, herbalism, botany, cookery, horticulture and history.
The aim of Forage London is to explore the plants that are all around us and show what can and can’t be picked (not to gather armfuls of plants ripped from our local parks).I hope to encourage everyone to get out of the city more often and to become more aware of the current and historical uses of the amazing plants and trees that share our capital.
Booking is via my website in advance only as there are very limited space on this and all of my other walks.Price £25.00 per person

Winner of The Magic Circle Comedy Award, Ian Keable performs the favourite tricks of Charles Dickens, who, in addition to being one of the world’s greatest writers, was an expert conjuror. This humorous and mystifying show also reveals Dickens’s sceptical fascination in spiritualism and recreates some of the spooky practices of the Victorian psychics.

“We meet our two heroines in the first days of autumn. Slowly the days are getting shorter, the sun is hanging lower in the sky, a chill is entering the air, and children are back at school, their shoes still yet unscuffed.”
Using the lives of circus artists as inspiration, Upswing asks what happens as you get older if your profession requires super human strength and skills? When ageing gradually takes away the tools of your trade? How does it affect your self-worth and your place in the world?
What Happens In The Winter… is an arresting mix of aerial, theatre and dance and treads a delicate path through the minds and bodies of two women who refuse to stop flying.
In this lecture, Professor Gareth Stedman Jones looks at the last decade and a half of Marx’s life, a period in which he effectively gave up further work on Capital and read up instead on the village community and the early history of man. He was interested in particular in the new work on pre-history which developed from the 1860s onwards connecting this with a notion of primitive communism and an epoch in history before patriarchy and political hierarchy.
Professor Gareth Stedman Jones is Director of the Centre for History and Economics, Cambridge, and a Fellow of King’s College, Cambridge University since 1974. He was Professor of Political Science, History Faculty, Cambridge University from 1997 and in 2010 became Professor of the History of Ideas at Queen Mary, University of London. His publications include An End to Poverty? (2004), a long introduction to Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, The Communist Manifesto (2002), and The Cambridge History of Nineteenth-Century Political Thought, co-edited with Gregory Claeys, 2011.
He is currently working on an intellectual biography of Marx commissioned by Penguin and a more general work on political thought between the French Revolution and the Revolutions of 1848.
Doors open at 7pm and wine and nibbles will be served. The talk starts promptly at 7.30pm and will last about an hour.
Tickets are non-refundable but, as a courtesy to others, please let us know if you cannot attend.
