Birdy is a moving story of friendship and family, dreams and survival, exploring the effects of war, notions of sanity and one man’s obsession with birds.
Inspired by the William Wharton novel, we are introduced to Birdy – confined in a World War II military psychiatric hospital, locked in silence and trapped in a bird persona. Led by his childhood friend and fellow casualty of war Al, we journey back through their early years as we relive their memories.
As Al and Birdy leave for battle, their lives are changed forever, but who or what represents true sanity? The world we live in or those who question its reality and reason.
A highly visual experience, the performance is intensified by powerful live music and song. Physicality and dynamic circus skills are used to convey a sense of otherworldliness.
Need advice about what computer, laptop or tablet to buy?
Still grappling with how to use the one you have already?
Or just fancy coming along and having a play?
COFFEE & COMPUTERS IS FOR YOU

Sex, love and violence in black, pink and turquoise.
A twisted, mystical tribe have gathered in a black fortress. As music, specially composed for the performance, takes over and the family reunion goes awry, the end result is shattered minds and damaged bodies. But who are these people? What do they need? It is universal. It is globally wanted.
The iron cube on the stage is a small mansion, a family home for the strange characters, and it fills with vulnerability and violence. Globally Wanted is a performance of absurd happenings told through circus, acrobatics, parkour, physical theatre and an ingenious design. It pulls the audience so deep into the performance that it is rarely experienced.
Finnish company, Company Uusi Maailma performs for the very first time in London with the UK premiere of Globally Wanted.
”Globally Wanted is a blackish burlesque belch straight at your face. – I have no idea what this could be compared to. Not to anything. Scary, and at the same time pleasurably filling the senses.”
– Helsingin Sanomat, Finland’s leading newspaper
Globally Wanted shows at Jackson’s Lane has been carried out with the support of Finnish Circus Information Centre.
The third Highgate Debate to be held at Highgate Literary & Scientific Institution tackles the issue

policy, while Will Blair will oppose any change. As with previous debates, they will be supported
by seconders from local 6th forms. Members of the audience will then be invited to make
contributions from the floor. The Debates will be free and open to the general public, as well as
HLSI members.

Please come and help us for this annual deep litter clean.
We had a great turnout last year, but the litter bugs have been back and we need lots of volunteers to help remove fly tipping, waste and litter. This year the event will only be for the one day. We’ll be going into the depths of the undergrowth to see what surprises lie in store. From past experience we expect to find everything including the kitchen sink (in case you’re anticipating a refurb). Key to making this a fun and productive event is getting a big turn out as we did last year. Everyone involved was unanimous in commenting how rewarding the day had been and we were delighted with the result. Bring family and friends along and make it a day to remember.
We will supply gloves, litter pickers and bags. Strong footwear is essential. This event is organised with assistance from Haringey Council Parks Department
