Extremism @ Jacksons Lane
Apr 8 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm

As part of Jacksons Lane’s LAUNCH programme to give more professional theatre opportunities to young people, it presents Extremism, part of the National Theatre’s festival of plays for young people, Connections. Extremism, by Anders Lustgarten, watches a class react when a student is taken out of the room by his teacher – and the police. A microcosm of our battle between tolerance and fear in a multi-faith society.

Mondays @ the Mills: From Windsor to Highgate via the QE2

20 November 2017

John Plews, Artistic Director Upstairs at the Gatehouse

After several years in rep at the Theatre Royal in Windsor, John worked for cruise lines before setting up theatrical production company ‘Ovation’ in 1985 with his partner Katie.  Looking for a ‘home’ they bought a derelict Victorian music hall in 1997 and turned it into the 140 seat fringe theatre known as ‘Upstairs at the Gatehouse’. In this talk John will describe his journey to Highgate.

Talks take place on Mondays at 7pm in the AV Room in the Mills Centre. Refreshments, including wine, are available from 6.30 pm and afterwards.

Crossing Continents: Ricardo Curbelo and Fiona Harrison in Concert @ Lauderdale House | England | United Kingdom

Ricardo Curbelo (Harp, Cuatro, Maracas, Vocals)
“A sheer delight to see and listen to” (Arran Music Society, 2016)

Fiona Harrison, (Classical Guitar)
“… a musician of great sensitivity both to her instrument and the mood of the music … gifted with a superbly confident technique.” (Hampshire Chronicle)

Travel on a rich and exciting musical journey with these two fine soloists.
Innovative Latin American harpist, composer and poet, Ricardo Curbelo, combines traditional music from a variety of Latin American countries, together with his own, spellbinding compositions. Vibrant, energetic and jazzy pieces contrast with more classical, enchanting melodies and tender vocals. He is delighted to share this concert with wonderful classical guitarist, Fiona Harrison, who will also present a fascinating and varied programme of music, crossing cultures and centuries from Renaissance England through to contemporary Japan.
