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.

Chivaree Circus: Becoming Shades @ Jacksons Lane
Jul 19 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

Myths remixed: the classic story of Persephone is retold with live music, aerial acrobatics, fire, dance and mime. A high impact show full of hope and sorrow, it’s Greek mythology but not as you know it as this tale of love, choice and empowerment gets a contemporary circus twist. Chivaree Circus will take you on a journey and leave you ready to embrace an eternity in Hades.

George Egg: Anarchist Cook @ Jacksons Lane
Jul 20 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

If you like food, you’ll love this…

Internationally acclaimed comedian George Egg is also a rather fanatical self-taught cook with a somewhat anarchic approach to making meals. As obsessed with culinary matters as he is with comedic ones, and finding himself dissatisfied with the quality and cost of takeaways and room-service meals while touring the stand-up comedy clubs of the world, George embarks on a project to take matters into his own surprisingly capable hands.

A surreal and absurd mix of stand-up comedy and striking innovation – in the words of Jay Rayner – “You’ll never look at a Corby trouser press in the same way again”

 

“It’s an hilarious show, with surprisingly good food.” The Times

“It is refreshing to encounter a performer who really is unique.” The Telegraph

“Absolutely glorious.” The Scotsman

Fantastic Voyage: a Bowie Circus Cabaret @ Jacksons Lane
Jul 22 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

David Bowie loved the circus, and we love David Bowie.

Jacksons Lane pays its respects with a once-in-a-lifetime night of spectacular sound and vision that we think will blow your minds. Performers from across the globe come together to celebrate Ziggy, the Thin White Duke, and maybe even Jareth the Goblin King as they choose their favourite Bowie look and song for a night of spaceman-inspired circus that’s out of this world.

Highgate Modern Homes

Professor David Porter and Elspeth Clements
Highgate is the location of perhaps the largest and finest concentration of modern homes anywhere in Britain, but because of the historic context and the pressure on land many are hidden away. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Highgate Society, Elspeth Clements and David Porter curated an exhibition in the School Museum over the October half-term holiday to showcase Highgate’s pioneering spirit. David Porter is Emeritus Professor of Architecture at the Glasgow School of Art, and Elspeth Clements is a practising architect and Chairman of the Highgate Society Planning Committee.
