As part of this year’s Highgate Festival, Blacktooth Productions present Highgate Histories at Lauderdale House on 19 June.
Blacktooth specialise in literary readings washed down with rollicking anecdotes and live music. For one night only they present an offbeat celebration of an area known for its vivid history and illustrious residents. The programme includes pieces by Dickens, Marvell, Coleridge and Christina Rossetti, along with tales of Highgate’s Great and Good (and not so good) and episodes from the area’s occasionally murky past – some of them with a direct bearing on Lauderdale House.

A narration of poet Siegfried Sassoon’s life adapted by Maureen Lyle from autobiographical writings and poems.
Following Sassoon’s life from pre-war country gentleman to wartime hero the narration will be accompanied by music, English song and popular ballads. This remarkable journey includes many twists of fate and personal challenges leading to Sassoon’s unique poetry depicting life in the trenches and his ultimate discharge as an army officer, a hundred years ago in 1919.
The show will take place in the Long Gallery at Lauderdale House.
Refreshments are available from 6:30 pm and during the interval.
