Schulz’s beloved Peanuts characters urges us to find happiness in the everyday and serves as a reminder that we’re all just grown-up children trying our best to figure it out.

Dina Ibrahim for KFI Publishing presents
The Mother of Kamal
Written by Dina Ibrahim
Directed by Stephen Freeman
It is 1948 in the slums of Baghdad. A working-class Jewish mother, Um-Kamal, finds her two sons arrested by the feared and loathed Secret Police. Inexplicably, the younger brother, Sasson, gets imprisoned, while Kamal, the older, is set free. Rumour and intrigue ensue, and Um-Kamal is reluctantly drawn into the orbit of the Communist Party, risking all to save her teenage sons and hold her rapidly fragmenting family together.
Decades later, conflicting family histories and narratives emerge, as the troubled Kamal finally faces a reckoning with the truth of what really happened following that night in the cells in Baghdad – and its impact on the family across time and space.
Following a sold-out run at the 2023 Camden Fringe, writer Dina Ibrahim brings a new, extended full-length telling of this powerful, poignant, warmly humorous, gently satirical, and intriguing piece of personal family history. Blending traditional narrative drama with elements drawn from classical, physical, epic and ensemble theatre, this is “theatre of the soul to sustain us… A symphony of survival” (International Times).
★★★★
“Surges with passion… intersperses beautifully judged comedy with the weightier elements of the piece.”
Morning Star
★★★★
“Crafts a Middle Eastern tale that unravels a web of secrecy [and] guilt.”
Fringe Biscuit
“Dina Ibrahim’s writing shines. This is a show deeply passionate about the story it is telling, ambitious in both scope and form.”
London Pub Theatres Magazine
Running Time: 2 hours (including interval)
Advisories: Play text includes language that some might find alarming. There is also mention of bereavement. Suitable for ages 12+

Voxcetera returns to the beautiful St Michael’s Church with two dazzling works for choir and strings, written nearly 300 years apart.
Vivaldi: Gloria
In a crowded field, little beats this for exuberant Baroque joy. Yet it is full of variety, from the slow and tender “Et in terra pax” to the effervescent “Domine, Fili unigenite”, the choir accompanied throughout by sprightly strings, oboe and trumpet.
Ola Gjeilo: Sunrise Mass
“Most of my favourite composers are film composers working in America today” says the New York-based Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo, and this thrilling mass pays tribute to the emotions, adrenaline and sense of wonder of film music. Scored for choir and strings and using traditional Latin texts, the 30-minute piece is strong on melody and rich in harmony, opening with gorgeous shimmering chords that emerge magically out of silence. It’s unmistakably modern, but it’s also in touch with early sacred music including Gregorian chant.
with:
Voxcetera chamber choir
Jane Hopkins, conductor
Ellie Sperling & Bethany Partridge, soloists
String orchestra, oboe, trumpet, organ
Voxcetera is a chamber choir celebrating sacred and secular music from medieval times to the present day under the direction of its founding conductor Jane Hopkins. The choir’s achievements include its popular Christmas concerts; performances with chamber ensembles of Fauré’s Requiem, Saint-Saëns’ Requiem and Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem, at St Michael’s Highgate; tours to Germany and Ireland; performances at St Martin-in-the-Fields, St. John Smith Square, St. Stephen Walbrook and East Finchley Arts Festival; appearances at the Science Museum, British Library and the Southbank Centre; and a variety of recording work.

Enid Blyton – Noddy, Big-Ears, and Lashings of Controversy.
Wednesday 24 April
Virtually everybody of a certain age has read an Enid Blyton book. She was loved by children (except her younger daughter who hated her) but vilified by the BBC, teachers, critics and librarians.
She sold more than 600 million books, despite all her work being banned by the BBC and many libraries and schools for more than thirty years. She was accused of being a racist and of using such limited vocabulary that it actually hindered children’s reading progress.
Her love-life was interesting and she had numerous affairs including with her children’s nanny. She enjoyed playing golf so much that she bought a golf course near Swanage. She died of Alzheimer’s in 1968 aged 71, mourned by millions of readers all over the world.
Liz Grand (previous shows ‘The Second Best Bed’, ‘Where Is Mrs. Christie?’ and ‘Mrs. Churchill – My Life With Winston’) plays this remarkable and controversial woman and brings you her story.
★★★★★
“The show’s subject is brilliantly played by Liz Grand, already well-versed in portraying strong independent women.”
View From The Stalls
“Liz Grand delivers a great performance as Enid and manages to portray different aspects of her complex character: she is arrogant, and somewhat vindictive at times, more self-aware at others and ultimately rather pitiable.”

Jazz in the House 2024: Immy Churchill Quartet
Get ready for the Immy Churchill Quartet – emerging new stars who are taking the jazz scene by storm.
The Immy Churchill quartet celebrates their love of incredible jazz singers such as Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald and Blossom Dearie in this evening of storytelling through The American Songbook and other great songwriters. Immy Churchill is recognised as a “rising star” on the jazz scene and will be joined by fellow leading lights Scottie Thompson, Jonah Evans and John Williamson.
Fresh from the Royal Academy of Music, Immy cites her influences from Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra to Joni Mitchell and Norma Winstone. She is already making a name for herself on the London scene, playing at venues such as Ronnie Scott’s and Pizza Express and The Royal Albert Hall.
“Each time I have heard Churchill sing, I have noted not just her ability to impress, by bringing understanding and a sense of music clarity to complex vocal lines, but also to affect an audience emotionally, to draw in our attention and to give memorable performances which stay in the mind.” London Jazz News.
We are proud to support emerging young artists as part of our Jazz in the House programme and are looking forward to welcoming the Immy Churchill Quartet who will be filling in last minute for the Clark Tracey Quintet.
Programmed by Blow the Fuse.
