Combining high-level circus skills with pathos, humour and beauty, Jess Love creates a vision that is at once delicately touching, visually enchanting and heart-warmingly playful. Dark clowning, dirty acrobatics and surreal sideshow feats go hand-in-hand with slapstick, roller-skating, hula hoops, skipping and hopscotch acrobatics – phew! With crafted storytelling and awe inspiring images on a bed of roses and broken glass, it’s so sweet you’ll want to squeal!
“LIVELY AND ENTERTAINING…SERIOUSLY WACKY…EXCITING…CHARISMATIC”★★★★ THE AGE

“Youth’s a stuff will not endure”
Outrageous high comedy ensues as the pangs of unrequited love affect the unforgettable characters of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. While the lovelorn Duke Orsino plots to win the heart of the mourning Olivia, an alliance of servants and buffoons scheme against the high-handedness of Olivia’s steward, the pompous Malvolio.
When Orsino engages the cross-dressed Viola, who has disguised herself as a young man under the name Cesario, to plead with Olivia on his behalf, a bittersweet and hilarious chain of events follows.

“O god that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains”
Othello is incredibly talented and successful. But he remains an outsider in his city, subject to racism, jealousy and suspicion. Only Desdemona treats him with respect and kindness: they fall passionately in love. His best friend, Iago, watches Othello’s life flourish with unbearable jealousy and plots to destroy him completely.
As Othello’s world disintegrates into chaos, consumed by a poisonous cocktail of jealousy and rage, he turns on the only person in the world who wants to save him.

Outrageous high comedy ensues as the pangs of unrequited love affect the unforgettable characters of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. While the lovelorn Duke Orsino plots to win the heart of the mourning Olivia, an alliance of servants and buffoons scheme against the high-handedness of Olivia’s steward, the pompous Malvolio.
When Orsino engages the cross-dressed Viola, who has disguised herself as a young man under the name Cesario, to plead with Olivia on his behalf, a bittersweet and hilarious chain of events follows.

“O god that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains”
Othello is incredibly talented and successful. But he remains an outsider in his city, subject to racism, jealousy and suspicion. Only Desdemona treats him with respect and kindness: they fall passionately in love. His best friend, Iago, watches Othello’s life flourish with unbearable jealousy and plots to destroy him completely.
As Othello’s world disintegrates into chaos, consumed by a poisonous cocktail of jealousy and rage, he turns on the only person in the world who wants to save him.

Rian Evans, Guardian critic and author of Kyffin Williams: The Light and the Dark (2018), discusses the work of Sir Kyffin Williams KBE RA.
8pm (doors open 7.30pm)
Entry £5 on the door (cash or cheque only).
Brochures and books for sale.
Landscape and portrait painter, draughtsman, lecturer, cartoonist and raconteur, Sir Kyffin Williams KBE RA is one of the most famous figures in Welsh art. He spent much of his adult life in Highgate. This talk is part of the Kyffin 100 celebrations in conjunction with Highgate School Museum. Kyffin was senior art master at Highgate School from 1944 to 1973, and he also taught evening classes at the HLSI in the very hall hosting this talk.
Daisy is doing her best to keep her chin up and her head down – but as the first anniversary of her mum’s death approaches she begins to realise grief isnʼt something she can put aside indefinitely, and whether she’s willing to admit it or not, things aren’t fine.
From the silly to the sublime to the scary to the ridiculous, Daisy wrestles (sometimes literally) with her grief – Ian, a 6-foot invisible bald guy with a lot of luggage – eventually discovering that by letting him into her world she is able to reconnect with the memory of her mother.
Combining physical comedy with striking aerial acrobatics and an original, constantly moving aerial set, the debut live show from She Said Jump draws on theatre clown, circus and puppetry to tackle the themes of grief and bereavement with a light and playful touch.
Suitable for ages 8+
