Moominvalley in November @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
A New Musical
 
It’s autumn in Moominvalley. Leaves are falling, rain has settled in. Six strangers arrive, each searching for something. Snufkin is looking for a melody. Fillyjonk longs for order. And Toft wants, more than anything, to meet the Moomins. 
 
But the house is empty. The valley is quiet. The Moomins have gone. 
 
Based on Tove Jansson’s final Moomin story, Moominvalley in November is a gentle, profound, and life-affirming meditation on grief, belonging, and quiet resilience. 
 
A co-production between Nummulite and Chromolume—the in-house company at Upstairs at the Gatehouse behind In ClayRoad Show, and Tom Lehrer Is Teaching Math and Doesn’t Want to Talk to YouMoominvalley in November was shortlisted for Mercury Musical Development’s BEAM 2025 showcase.
Praise for Tove Jansson’s Moominvalley in November:

“What is to be Done” – A Russian Question. Talk by Lesley Chamberlain @ Highgate Society
Nov 12 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm

Churchill said it was riddle wrapped up in a mystery inside an enigma: can  we ever understand Russia? 

What is to be Done?’ is a question Russians have asked themselves many times over the last two centuries. Sharing their ideas over a lifetime of reading and writing, author Lesley Chamberlain spotlights the difficulties and asks whether there’s an answer.

Lesley Chamberlain studied Russian and German in England and was a Reuters correspondent in Moscow 1978-79 before embarking on a freelance career. While reviewing for many national and international publications and writing and broadcasting on BBC radio she has published over twenty books. They reflect approaches to Russia by way of food, literature, travel, history, philosophy and fiction. Titles include The Food and Cooking of RussiaMotherland A Philosophical History of Russia and most recently a novel The Mozhaisk Road Russian Heart of Darkness.

Moominvalley in November @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Nov 15 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm
Moominvalley in November @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
A New Musical
 
It’s autumn in Moominvalley. Leaves are falling, rain has settled in. Six strangers arrive, each searching for something. Snufkin is looking for a melody. Fillyjonk longs for order. And Toft wants, more than anything, to meet the Moomins. 
 
But the house is empty. The valley is quiet. The Moomins have gone. 
 
Based on Tove Jansson’s final Moomin story, Moominvalley in November is a gentle, profound, and life-affirming meditation on grief, belonging, and quiet resilience. 
 
A co-production between Nummulite and Chromolume—the in-house company at Upstairs at the Gatehouse behind In ClayRoad Show, and Tom Lehrer Is Teaching Math and Doesn’t Want to Talk to YouMoominvalley in November was shortlisted for Mercury Musical Development’s BEAM 2025 showcase.
Praise for Tove Jansson’s Moominvalley in November:

“Genius” – Philip Pullman
 
“A heartwarming and melancholic tale” – The Greatest Books 
 
“Tove Jansson is a master” – Times Literary Supplement 
 
Running Time: 2 hours (including interval)

Hauntings @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Nov 23 @ 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm
Hauntings @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
With masterful storytelling from the award-winning actor Gerard Logan, Hauntings will transport you to a world of invisible, but terrifyingly present, spirits.
 
A spellbinding evening of three tales of the supernatural from two of the world’s greatest writers of ghost stories, E.F. Benson and M.R. James
From E.F. BENSON comes:
Naboth’s Vineyard’ – in which just deserts are meted out to an unscrupulous lawyer, 
&
The Hanging of Alfred Wadham’ – in which the forces of the devil test a man of faith to his limits. 
From the master of the ghost story genre, M.R. JAMES, comes: 
 ‘Oh, Whistle and I’ll Come to You, My Lad’ – in which a medieval spirit strikes terrorises an arrogant professor.

Performed by Gerard Logan
(Olivier Nominee & Winner of The Stage Newspaper’s ‘Best Solo Performer of the 2011 Edinburgh Festival)
Directed by Gareth Armstrong

Music by Simon Slater

 
Logan is astounding….He takes a strong script and flies it to the stars
 Edinburgh Festival 2016 Review – 5 STARS 
Watching Logan work is like being privy to a wonder of nature and remains with you … A true masterpiece of solo performance”
