An East End gangster’s tale as you’ve never heard it before.
Better known as Skinny Dan or Longdog, Danny O’Halloran was a villain in the old fashioned sense of the word. A contemporary of the Great Train Robbers, ‘Mad’ Frankie Fraser and all those old-school London gangsters, he robbed banks for a living. But, unlike the infamous Kray twins, he never sought the spotlight.
After a life spent shuttling in and out of jail, scrapping to survive and leaving plenty of broken bones in his wake, Longdog died in 2005. Prairie Flower is set in that year.
Written and performed by Danny’s son Ryan Simms, this one man play turns a family’s dark past into a compelling new piece of theatre.
We are now taking bookings for the Autumn Term for Introductory Art – Still Life.
This weekly class offers both beginners and developing students the chance to explore their creative potential in drawing, focusing mainly on Still Life.

Introductory Art – Still Life takes place every Wednesday at 10:30am. The Autumn Term runs Wednesday 12 September to Wednesday 12 December. Please note there is no class on 24 October for Half Term.
