If you’re drunk on power can you ever sober up?

Luis and BK are stationed at a remote border crossing between their two countries. BK believes that somewhere out there, mysterious creatures roam the desert. The chance discovery of a strange other-world takes the two guards on a journey into the dark heart of politics, tyranny and murder.

Absurd comedy and grotesque puppetry combine to explore nationalism, leadership and the terrible consequences of using another man’s toilet.

We’re proud to be part of Suspense – London Puppetry Festival again in 2015. The festival presents diverse and impressive puppetry productions from both the UK and international artists. Produced by Little Angel Theatre, Suspense dispels the myth that puppetry is just for children.

Join the Great British Spring Clean campaign @ Highgate Society
Mar 4 @ 10:15 am – 12:00 pm

Join the Great British Spring Clean campaign, Saturday 4 March 10.15 – 11.30 am

at the Highgate Society 10A South Grove, Highgate   

During the weekend of 3-5 March many people across the country will take part in the Great British Spring Clean campaign. Last year the campaign got 250,000 people outdoors, active and involved in clean up events.

The Highgate Society is organising one such event. We will supply protective gloves and rubbish bags. All we ask is that you bring yourself, some warm clothing and your enthusiasm. We will start with a short briefing at the Highgate Society 10A South Grove at 10.15 am and then leave for approximately an hour’s tidy up in and around Highgate village. Afterwards, if you have time,  we can warm up and enjoy a tea or coffee back at 10A until midday.

 

You’ll be joining an ever growing band of people who have had enough of other people’s litter, are willing to donate their time to help clear it up and want to see an end to littering. We’ll prepare a short report afterwards to highlight awareness of what we find.

 

For any questions please contact the organiser Andrew Sulston via the Highgate Society Website.

Scorched @ Jacksons Lane
May 6 @ 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm

1941. Egypt. WWII. An escaped German officer. A two day chase across the brutal Sahara. A triumphant capture. A hero’s return.
1991. England. Jack reigns from the armchair of his rest home, a local legend. Decorated veteran of Tobruk. Former river warden, boxer, horse whisperer, boat builder, charmer, prolific father and husband to a very unhappy wife. Dementia is eroding his mind. As the Gulf War rages, the past drags him back to the scorched sands. Inspired by the writer’s grandfather.
Following its critically acclaimed debut at this year’s Edinburgh Festival, Open Sky present Scorched, using new writing, visual physical theatre, period music and an innovative set to create the workings of a mind sinking into the sands of time. “Striking theatrical invention” The Stage

The Guy in the Luggage Rack @ Jacksons Lane
Sep 9 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm

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+

Little Red Riding Hood @ Jacksons Lane

Suitable for ages 3 – 8

A wardrobe can take you to magical spaces, to all sorts of stories and wonderful places. Lyngo’s is a portal to the wild wood where something is roaming the forest, animals are mysteriously going missing and a little girl has just received a beautiful red cloak from her granny. Open the doors and it all comes alive through puppetry, songs and music from hidden hatches and secret compartments.

All the better to thrill you with!

Witch Hunt @ Jacksons Lane
Oct 14 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Following their sell-out, award-winning show Enter The Dragons, A&E Comedy (Abigail Dooley and Emma Edwards, “a brilliant comedy coupling” Total Theatre) return with a spell-binding, surreal and darkly hilarious tale, directed by Cal McCrystal.

“I think they are amazing!!” Phoebe Waller-Bridge

Witch Hunt weaves a cautionary fairytale for our time. It celebrates the wisdom of the witch, unpacks the notion of predator and conjures a world of coven-ready weird sisters.

“Watch out, there are wild women about.  Knicker-Wettingly funny” Total Theatre

A ritualistic voodoo brouhaha designed to enchant and hex the pricks and predators; imagine Vic and Bob doing The Crucible.

Using buffoon, puppetry and magic and armed with a ‘wiccan’ sense of humour, A&E Comedy ask “can we use witchcraft to take down the Patriarchy?” Yes we can!
