Larkin Descending @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Sep 7 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm

It is 1985. Philip Larkin is the nation’s best-loved poet. He sits in his suburban house in Hull, drinking too much, listening to his beloved jazz and wondering why he can’t write any more.

Award-winning playwright Gail Lowe explore’s the roots of Larkin’s poetry – his happy childhood, his need for privacy, and the complex relationships he had with the women in his life.

Larkin is brought vividly to life by Brighton actor Graham White in this witty and intriguing production.

Gail Louw has her plays performed throughout the world: Duwayne, (Best New Play at Brighton Fringe), Blonde Poison (Argus Angel, Best of the Fest – San Francisco Fringe, South Africa and Sydney Opera House). Miss Dietrich Regrets (Naledi Award). And this is my friend Mr Laurel, with Jeffrey Holland (Edinburghand tour), Two Sisters (Los Angeles and UK). Most recently is The Mitfords. Oberon have published two collections of Gail’s plays.

Directed by Sylvia Vickers.

Prairie Flower @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Sep 12 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm

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.

“In German, we have this saying: ‘raven mother’. Neglectful, selfish. I’m afraid people say this behind my back.”

Am I strict enough? Am I away too much? Did I breastfeed for long enough? Should I be back in shape by now? Did I need that second glass of wine? Why is the house never tidy?
Did I want this?
Am I still myself?
Do they call me raven mother?

This fresh, forceful, feminist new work breaks down the crippling self-doubt and social expectations of modern mothers – whether to return to work or stay at home, whether to sacrifice or preserve themselves.

Berlin circus collective Still Hungry reveal the uncomfortable dark sides of their own motherhood in this mix of aerial circus and physical theatre.

Award-winning performance artist Bryony Kimmings lends her signature razor-sharp wit, emotive punch and provocative aesthetic to make her directorial debut for circus.

A UK premiere.

But tonight, Baby has other ideas… As soon as Dad’s out of the way, Baby gets his hands on the magic top hat, and when his friend Rabbit shows up the fun and games really begin. Mix in some magic, a pinch of circus and a large dollop of silliness and you have the recipe for a little adventure with a lot of laughs.

Prairie Flower @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Sep 28 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm

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.
