“If it’s good enough for Shakespeare, it’s good enough for us.”
Rodgers and Hart’s classic 1938 musical comedy adaptation of The Comedy of Errors returns to the London stage for its debut at Upstairs at the Gatehouse, in a madcap tale of mistaken identity, danger and romance in ancient Greece!
Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant, Dromio, arrive in Ephesus as part of a long search for their respective identical twins from whom they were separated as children during a shipwreck. But citizens of Syracuse caught in Ephesus are subject to the death penalty. As fate has it, there’s another Antipholus who’s an established citizen of Ephesus, served by another Dromio. Confusions multiply as wives are baffled by husbands, one twin is wrongly jailed and Antipholus of Syracuse falls in love with his wife’s sister – or does he?
Arguably Rodgers and Hart’s best, the score includes the hit songs Falling in Love with Love; This Can’t Be Love and Sing for Your Supper.

‘From Home’ is a solo exhibition by the artist Xinan Yang, opening in conjunction with the Moon Festival, the lunar celebration honouring the full moon and the family union. The exhibition showcases two distinct series of Yang’s work, each providing a profound reflection on family, identity, and the evolving concept of home.
Xinan Yang is renowned for her ability to create spaces that bridge the realms of imagination and reality through brushes. After her last solo show, Missing Place Missing Face, she embarked on a new exploration using family photos to delve into the concept of belonging. This series poignantly explores geographical displacement and its impact on family dynamics and self-identity. By repainting family photos without depicting faces, Yang investigates the collective memory and consciousness of how memory shapes social bodies and worlds.
Yang’s work is imbued with rich personal and cultural symbolism, often featuring motifs such as dogs, moons, snakes, and birds. After leaving her hometown, her dog became an emotional anchor for her parents, symbolizing the deep familial bonds and emotional connections that persist despite physical distance. Birds in her work represent both freedom and the allure of the world beyond home, mirroring the experience of many young people who leave home for study or work and return only occasionally, much like migratory birds. These motifs highlight the tension between the desire for exploration and the enduring connection to home.
The exhibition, curated by Yu Ying Chan, will include wall hangings that intricately blend personal narratives with broader cultural themes, offering visitors a profound reflection on family, identity, and the ever-evolving concept of home.
From Home will be on display in the Upper Gallery during gallery opening times from Wednesday 11 September – Monday 7 October.
The gallery is generally open:
- Monday – Tuesday : 12pm to 4pm
- Wednesday : 11am to 3pm
- Thursday – Sunday : 12pm to 4pm

This exhibition, Cuillin Bantock’s fourth at Highgate Gallery, will be the culmination of sixty five years of
experience as a visual artist.
Bantock’s work is all landscape-based. Life-long familiarity with a particular coastal sand-dune system in North
Wales is a persistent point of reference. His choice of media is wide-ranging and includes oil paint, acrylic, gouache,
conte and linocut. His approach has shifted from representation to abstraction, but he strongly believes that all
art must relate to something outside itself.
The exhibition will show two types of work: Indian Ink drawings, and watercolour paintings.
The Indian ink drawings are from the 2022 series ‘Forty-one approaches to a View’. The ‘view’ is of a particular
duneland studied repeatedly from the same spot. The emphasis has been on making quite simple statements
about that particular space. The first studies that Bantock made of this terrain (also in Indian ink) date from 1961.
It was only while making the recent drawings in 2022 that he realised that other artists, in their later years,
had adopted a similar approach; for example Hokusai, with his ‘Thirty Six Views of Mount Fuji’.
The watercolours were made between 2020 and 2024. These are derived from the same landscape as the
ink drawings, but with a particular emphasis on pictorial space (through flatness) and pictorial light
(through colour), but handled abstractly without reference to specific locales. To some extent the watercolours
are a new departure for Bantock. His only previous experience with the medium was very occasional figurative
work (again, of duneland). He describes watercolour as ‘the most challenging medium of all.’
The two bodies of work are united by a perennial search for clarity of execution and expression, and pictorial economy
free of didacticism, leaving room for spontaneity.
Cuillin Bantock has enjoyed a rich and varied career as artist, scientist, educator and writer. He is an Oxford-trained
zoologist who worked as a professional biologist for 20 years, and later studied at Camberwell College of Art. He has
written and lectured extensively on a wide range of subjects, including science, wildlife conservation, art and artists.
His work has been exhibited widely over many years, and is held in a large number of private and corporate collections.
Highgate Gallery is delighted to be hosting this exhibition, which Bantock has decided – as he approaches
his ninetieth birthday – shall be his last with us.
Gallery open: Wed – Fri: 13.00 – 17.00, Sat: 11.00 – 16.00, Sun: 11.00 -17.00

After leaving her hometown, her dog became an emotional anchor for her parents, symbolizing the deep familial bonds and emotional connections that persist despite physical distance. Birds in her work represent both freedom and the allure of the world beyond home, mirroring the experience of many young people who leave home for study or work and return only occasionally, much like migratory birds. These motifs highlight the tension between the desire for exploration and the enduring connection to home.
The exhibition, curated by Yu Ying Chan, will include wall hangings that intricately blend personal narratives with broader cultural themes, offering visitors a profound reflection on family, identity, and the ever-evolving concept of home.
From Home will be on display in the Upper Gallery during gallery opening times from Wednesday 11 September – Monday 7 October.
The gallery is generally open:
- Monday – Tuesday : 12pm to 4pm

“If it’s good enough for Shakespeare, it’s good enough for us.”
Rodgers and Hart’s classic 1938 musical comedy adaptation of The Comedy of Errors returns to the London stage for its debut at Upstairs at the Gatehouse, in a madcap tale of mistaken identity, danger and romance in ancient Greece!
Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant, Dromio, arrive in Ephesus as part of a long search for their respective identical twins from whom they were separated as children during a shipwreck. But citizens of Syracuse caught in Ephesus are subject to the death penalty. As fate has it, there’s another Antipholus who’s an established citizen of Ephesus, served by another Dromio. Confusions multiply as wives are baffled by husbands, one twin is wrongly jailed and Antipholus of Syracuse falls in love with his wife’s sister – or does he?
Arguably Rodgers and Hart’s best, the score includes the hit songs Falling in Love with Love; This Can’t Be Love and Sing for Your Supper.
Music by Richard Rodgers; Lyrics by Lorenz Hart; Book by George Abbott

‘From Home’ is a solo exhibition by the artist Xinan Yang, opening in conjunction with the Moon Festival, the lunar celebration honouring the full moon and the family union. The exhibition showcases two distinct series of Yang’s work, each providing a profound reflection on family, identity, and the evolving concept of home.
Xinan Yang is renowned for her ability to create spaces that bridge the realms of imagination and reality through brushes. After her last solo show, Missing Place Missing Face, she embarked on a new exploration using family photos to delve into the concept of belonging. This series poignantly explores geographical displacement and its impact on family dynamics and self-identity. By repainting family photos without depicting faces, Yang investigates the collective memory and consciousness of how memory shapes social bodies and worlds.

This exhibition, Cuillin Bantock’s fourth at Highgate Gallery, will be the culmination of sixty five years of
experience as a visual artist.
Bantock’s work is all landscape-based. Life-long familiarity with a particular coastal sand-dune system in North
Wales is a persistent point of reference. His choice of media is wide-ranging and includes oil paint, acrylic, gouache,
conte and linocut. His approach has shifted from representation to abstraction, but he strongly believes that all
art must relate to something outside itself.
The exhibition will show two types of work: Indian Ink drawings, and watercolour paintings.
The Indian ink drawings are from the 2022 series ‘Forty-one approaches to a View’. The ‘view’ is of a particular
duneland studied repeatedly from the same spot. The emphasis has been on making quite simple statements
about that particular space. The first studies that Bantock made of this terrain (also in Indian ink) date from 1961.
It was only while making the recent drawings in 2022 that he realised that other artists, in their later years,
had adopted a similar approach; for example Hokusai, with his ‘Thirty Six Views of Mount Fuji’.
The watercolours were made between 2020 and 2024. These are derived from the same landscape as the
ink drawings, but with a particular emphasis on pictorial space (through flatness) and pictorial light
(through colour), but handled abstractly without reference to specific locales. To some extent the watercolours
are a new departure for Bantock. His only previous experience with the medium was very occasional figurative
work (again, of duneland). He describes watercolour as ‘the most challenging medium of all.’
The two bodies of work are united by a perennial search for clarity of execution and expression, and pictorial economy
free of didacticism, leaving room for spontaneity.
Cuillin Bantock has enjoyed a rich and varied career as artist, scientist, educator and writer. He is an Oxford-trained
zoologist who worked as a professional biologist for 20 years, and later studied at Camberwell College of Art. He has
written and lectured extensively on a wide range of subjects, including science, wildlife conservation, art and artists.
His work has been exhibited widely over many years, and is held in a large number of private and corporate collections.
Highgate Gallery is delighted to be hosting this exhibition, which Bantock has decided – as he approaches
his ninetieth birthday – shall be his last with us.
Gallery open: Wed – Fri: 13.00 – 17.00, Sat: 11.00 – 16.00, Sun: 11.00 -17.00

‘From Home’ is a solo exhibition by the artist Xinan Yang, opening in conjunction with the Moon Festival, the lunar celebration honouring the full moon and the family union. The exhibition showcases two distinct series of Yang’s work, each providing a profound reflection on family, identity, and the evolving concept of home.
Xinan Yang is renowned for her ability to create spaces that bridge the realms of imagination and reality through brushes. After her last solo show, Missing Place Missing Face, she embarked on a new exploration using family photos to delve into the concept of belonging. This series poignantly explores geographical displacement and its impact on family dynamics and self-identity. By repainting family photos without depicting faces, Yang investigates the collective memory and consciousness of how memory shapes social bodies and worlds.
Yang’s work is imbued with rich personal and cultural symbolism, often featuring motifs such as dogs, moons, snakes, and birds. After leaving her hometown, her dog became an emotional anchor for her parents, symbolizing the deep familial bonds and emotional connections that persist despite physical distance. Birds in her work represent both freedom and the allure of the world beyond home, mirroring the experience of many young people who leave home for study or work and return only occasionally, much like migratory birds. These motifs highlight the tension between the desire for exploration and the enduring connection to home.
