Aug 23 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

22nd & 24th August 7.30pm
23rd & 25th August 9.15pm

Macbeth – a classically dark and tragic tale of corruption, murder and betrayal. This time however, it’s different. Tap the Table Productions will present Shakespeare’s quintessential tragedy as a rip-roaring comedy.
During Macbeth Gone Mental prepare yourself for anything from physical to black comedy mixed in with tear-jerkingly poignant moments as Tap the Table take their unapologetic and ridiculous performance style and use it to turn Macbeth on its head.

LOVE MIDLANDS THEATRE – “one of the Bard’s most well-known plays as something completely different.”

A SMALL MIND AT THE THEATRE – “four wonderfully skilled and enthusiastic performers.”

Confessions of a Superhero @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Aug 15 @ 8:45 pm – 10:45 pm

Presented by A Major Theatre Company

New musical Confessions of a Superhero centres around a young girl named Jenny-lee and her quest to discover her true identity in a world where the extraordinary is just… ordinary. Haunted by her own untameable powers, she seeks out a group dedicated to helping Superheroes cope with the daily struggles and pressures that come with the job, in the hope that they will provide her with some much needed guidance. However, it quickly becomes clear that the heroes Jenny once looked up to aren’t as super as she once thought, a realisation made even more worrying by the resurgence of a powerful super villain. Will Jenny be able to find the path destiny has always intended? Or will this lost soul, as so many do, fly too close to the sun?

It’s Beautiful, Over There @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Aug 25 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

 

Thomas Edison’s last words were “It’s very beautiful over there”.
In this new piece of writing, the audience is presented with a powerful story of a young adult’s effort to cope with the unexpected death of a close friend.
A one-woman show about understanding death and grief, the importance of telling stories, and the ways in which we live on through the legacy we leave behind in our names and our memories. And how to fold origami swans.
Stephanie Greenwood is a British-South African writer and actress living in London who has recently completed the first UK tour of Jonathan Lewis’ play Soldier On.

Brahms and Liszt in Highgate with Gavin and Murray @ Pond Square Chapel
Dec 9 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm
Join Gavin Davies (violin) and Murray Hipkin (piano) for a relaxed evening of celebrated romantic music and delicious wine

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

Advanced booking is advised as we will be limiting capacity in order to ensure socially distanced seating is available for those who require it. In accordance with normal practice, we respectfully ask that you do a lateral flow test – available free from www.gov.uk/order-coronavirus-lateral-flow-tests.com in the 48 hours prior to the concert – but please do get in touch for a full refund if you get a positive result!
