Keats, Love and Myth Understandings – John Hegley @ Jacksons Lane

Oct 30 @ 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm

A selection of verses on the above topics, devised as an adult show, but tolerable to some 10 year olds. Verses concerning Keats’s relationships with vegetables and surgery. A long look at love, both on, and off the buses and musings on the old chestnut of Orpheus’s disruptive turn around. Deep and daft. Come and Sing.

‘Awesomely mundane’ Independent

‘Scandalously talented’ Sunday Times

SPOOKS! A Halloween Cabaret @ Jacksons Lane

Tickets

Oct 31 @ 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm

Jacksons Lane summons you to a ghoulish feast of blood-curdling burlesque, macabre music, spectral circus and eerie illusion with some horrifically talented artists in this frighteningly fantastic night.

Overseen by the dark lord of comedy magic Christian Lee, expect vampires on ropes, tantalising terrors of tease, ghouls on your lap and gothic glamour all around, including the queen of erotic neo-burlesque, the sensational MisSa Blue.

The ticket includes a chiller cocktail on arrival, with a late bar and special medicinal concoctions to get your fangs into. Book early!

We encourage attendees to dress to distress.

18+ adult content and nudity

Meta – Gandini Juggling @ Jacksons Lane

Tickets

Nov 21 @ 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm

The vertigo of structure, the infectiousness of the shocking.

A show about making shows. A reflection on entertainment. In the 90’s the Gandinis made a series of experimental pieces with Choreographer Gill Clarkethat were performed at Jacksons Lane. For this commission they revisit those pieces with a show which is about itself, an elliptical reflexion on their journey through entertainment.

There will be complex juggling, text, ballet dancing, hammers, nudity, tables and a comedy sketch.

Gandini are bursting with concepts and commentary about form, style and substance. They are excited about this dissection of things, about dwelling deeper into the anatomy of a show.

Back at Jacksons Lane as part of the 40th birthday celebrations, this piece seesGandini simultaneously looking back to the past, forward to the future, and trying to explain how to get from one to the other.

With 6 jugglers and 3 dancers.

There will be a Gala performance of meta on Wed 25 Nov. CLICK HERE for more information.
