“Shatteringly original, infuriating, rebelliously playful, and as intelligently experimental as any drama you’ll see” – Time Out
Lisa is a troubled young lady; troubled by her life and its imbalance at the hands of her watch – always behind by one hour. When a mysterious gentleman arrives at her door, he brings news from the watch specialist Lisa entrusted with her broken “time piece” and reveals that the watch is in fact intact and that “somewhere in all the temporal confusion” it is Lisa who has lost an hour from her life. He informs her that her only hope of retrieving the hour and restoring balance to her life is to travel to a fantastical land called “Dissocia” where she is sure to find it. But all is not as it seems and as Lisa descends to Dissocia, she encounters some of the strangest individuals in the land, who though they may send her in the direction of her lost hour, do not necessarily want her to find it.
Not seen on a London stage for nearly ten years CLATTERHOUSE invites you to join them and Lisa as they descend to Dissocia in this strange and macabre revival of Anthony Neilson’s Dorothy meets Alice style classic. Crammed with dark humour, a witty satire and musical set pieces, this is a theatrical spectacle not to be missed – especially in the intimate setting of The Red Hedgehog Theatre. We all lose time through our day but what would you do if you lost it for good?!
“If you like Alice in Wonderland but there’s not enough sex and violence in it, then Dissocia is the show for you” – ANTHONY NEILSON
A pioneering voice in contemporary British theatre, Anthony Neilson writes and directs plays that are full of wit, charm, compassion and boldly delves into unchartered realms of thinking and the unthinkable. First performed at the Tron Theatre, Glasgow and opened at the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh as part of the 2004 Edinburgh International Festival, THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISSOCIA amazed audiences and critics alike. The play stormed the Critic’s Awards for Theatre in Scotland, taking home five awards including Best Director, Best Production and Best New Play. Three years later, the play was revived by the National Theatre of Scotland and embarked on a UK tour, which included a three week season at the Royal Court as part of Artistic Director Dominic Cooke’s inaugural season. And now in 2013, as Anthony Neilson’s latest play Narrative marks the farewell production in Cooke’s final season at the Royal Court, CLATTERHOUSE Theatre are thrilled to be celebrating this remarkable playwright and bringing his modern classic to a new audience

Performed by Bunbanter’s Young Theatre Company, a modern and abstract theatre production of Caryl Churchill’s short play ‘THIS IS A CHAIR’.
For an alternative experience this Valentine’s day, follow our Young Theatre Company through a series of surreal sketches, using ensemble based theatre. Our production takes us from the daily into the unspoken and abstract; highlighting societal issues hidden behind our everyday lives that many of us can ignore. A group of young people, who are possibly guiltier of this willful ignorance than many, explore with us the connectedness of the world and the things that may not directly affect us, the ‘Big Picture’.
If you’re looking for something different on Valentine’s 2014, the day to come together, watch what tears us apart. Gripping our audiences from the beginning, ensuring we have your attention and delivering this sharp and punchy play, we’ll close the theatre doors and leave you on the street, with a closed mouth but an open mind.

The opening concert in our 2016-2017 season has a sombre feel, commemorating the centenary of the Battle of the Somme. Starting with The Banks of Green Willow by George Butterworth, who was killed in action on 5th August 1916, aged 31, this work is complemented by Ronald Corp’s The Somme – A Lament. The mood lifts with the choral arrangement of Serenade to Music by Butterworth’s contemporary, Vaughan Williams and the programme closes with Brahms’s glorious German Requiem.
We are now taking bookings for the Autumn Term for Painting with Watercolour and Acrylic.

In another little step back to the ethos of the London Novello Ensemble – which is the presentation of great music outside the formal constraints of the concert hall – Murray and Gavin present the two opposites of late 19th century romanticism along with music by Delius, Vitali and Sarasate, and a selection of popular tangos including Piazzolla’s famous ‘Libertango’
Gavin Davies studied the violin with Marta Eitler and at the Royal College of Music with Jaroslav Vanecek and Natasha Boyarsky. He combines a freelance orchestral career with ensembles such as the London Philharmonic and BBC Concert orchestras with regular chamber music and solo performances.
Murray Hipkin is a fulltime member of the music staff at English National Opera, where he has conducted The Mikado, The Gondoliers, The Pirates of Penzance, Kismet, Carousel, Chess and Man of la Mancha. He is musical director of the Pink Singers and the North London Chorus and he recently finished filming Anyone Can Sing for ENO/Sky Arts in the role of music supervisor and accompanist.
Programme to include:
Brahms – Sonata No. 1 in G
Liszt – Romance
Delius – Sonata No. 3
Vitali – Chaconne
Sarasate – Zigeunerweisen
Tangos by Albeniz, Gade, and Piazzolla

Virtuoso banjo player and fiddler Aaron Jonah Lewis has been elbow-deep in traditional American music since their first lessons at the age of five with Kentucky native Robert Oppelt. Their concerts take audiences on a journey through the back roads of American old time and folk music, with detours through ragtime and early jazz.
“I’ve heard quite a lot of old-time fiddle and banjo playing, trust me, but I’ve never heard it like this… played at break-neck speeds, Aaron’s fiddle whipping around tight corners like a high-end sports car… It’s like watching Bach hopped up on speed, composing kickass barn dance tunes in Appalachia… [Aaron is] a player you need to watch.” -No Depression
Greg Adams, Archivist at the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, says, “Lewis is one of the few performing musicians with the facility to build compelling musical bridges between the printed banjo music and techniques of the 19th century and the instrument’s journey into recorded sound by the turn of the 20th century.”
