Theatre on the Tea Lawn: Twelfth Night @ Lauderdale House
Aug 10 @ 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm

theatre on the tea lawn

twelfth night by william shakespeare

After the great success of The Importance of Being Earnest in 2016, the award-winning Shooting Stars Theatre Company return to Lauderdale House with a fresh and modern interpretation of Twelfth Night.

Shooting Stars was formed in 2006 by Helen Crosse and quickly gained a reputation for producing high quality professional theatre.  They produce classic Shakespeare but bring it up to date and make it relevant to a modern audience with modern dress and in updated settings and ‘worlds’. Definately theatre for the whole family!

Shooting Star’s productions are always accessible, so even those not versed in the Bard’s comic play will be rolling with laughter. This is a play of mistaken identity and love triangles and takes its rightful place as one of Shakespeare’s best loved plays. Confused identity, cross-dressing and cross-garters are sure to make this an evening to remember!

Tips for our audience:

If it rains the ‘show will go on’ – we will only cancel in very extreme circumstances

There are no refunds but if we do have to abandon the show before the interval you will be offered a ticket for another night subject to availability

Bring something warm as even on a hot day the evenings can get chilly

The Café will be open for you to purchase food and drink on the evening but you are welcome to bring a picnic along with a blanket or chair to sit on. Chairs will be seated at the back of the Tea Lawn.

Brahms: A German Requiem @ St. Michael's Church
Mar 30 @ 7:30 pm – 8:45 pm

Brahms’ gorgeous, stirring Ein Deutsches Requiem is one of the great choral works, full of warm, rich harmonies. Inspired perhaps by the deaths of his mother, and his friend and fellow composer Robert Schumann, its music evokes comfort, loss, fear, peace and joy. Unlike other well known requiems, Brahms’ is not so much a mass for the dead as an offering of solace to those who mourn.

Jane Hopkins conducts Voxcetera, with soprano Ellie Sperling and baritone Jamie Sperling, using Iain Farrington’s acclaimed arrangement of the score for chamber ensemble. It promises to be both a grand and intimate experience.

There will be a bar open before and after the performance, and Voxcetera hopes you’ll stay to join us for wine and cake when the music finishes.

Voxcetera is a north London-based choir performing regularly in north and central London. Recent activity includes concerts at St Martin-in-the-fields, East Finchley Arts Festival, tours to southern Germany and recording work for Unicef’s Generations campaign. Its most recent Highgate concert was for Christmas 2018, in St Josephs RC Church.

Jack Frost and the Search for Winter @ Jacksons Lane
Oct 27 @ 11:00 am – 12:00 pm

When temperatures drop and cold snaps come, that means only one thing: Jack Frost is here!

Jack Frost is a mischievous young boy with a frozen touch. His magic transforms the landscape and brings the colours of autumn and the chill of cold winter. He freezes the orange and red leaves, and covers the trees and ground with a glistening blanket of ice and snow.

But this year when winter comes around the snow begins to melt and along with it Jack’s extraordinary magic fades. With his powers lost he becomes just an ordinary boy.

In this wintery tale, Jack and his new found friend, search for winter and attempt to restore Jack’s special gift. Circling the globe they meet characters who share their own special shimmering seasonal winter magic, but will Jack’s magic return?

Join tutti frutti for this enchanting new play by poet and playwright Joseph Coelho with important environmental themes, a touch of wintery fun and original live music.

Delicate @ Jacksons Lane
Nov 25 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Four different bodies collide. A show about how things need to fall apart before they can fall into place.

Their lives are different, but one thing unites them: there’re frustrated with their bodies changing, ageing, breaking, no longer obeying. They climb, hang, balance, slide, collapse, hold and hug. They examine marks life has left on their bodies. Film and audio fragments mirror these marks in the wounds inflicted on our planet. These characters are fighting the grind of what’s expected. And you might feel inspired to do the same.

Delicate is BSL interpreted, audio described and captioned. Delicate is presented by Extraordinary Bodies and co-produced with Figurteatret i Nordland and Theatre Royal Plymouth.
