Following a brief five-star run in Southend last year, cult musical SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD comes to Upstairs at the Gatehouse this February for a strictly limited run.

Featuring Musical Theatre fan favourites including ‘I’m Not Afraid of Anything’, ‘Stars and the Moon’ and ‘King of the World’, this production of SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD creatively explores the human condition from vastly different New World perspectives, from the deck of a 15th century ship to the window ledge of a modern day high-rise in Manhattan.

Highgate has more than its fair share of locations if you’re looking for a pint, a bite to eat…or a historic ceremony involving antlers!
Originally a village outside of London, Highgate has long been a welcoming spot for travellers and visitors alike. Join us for this fascinating talk as we discover the history of some of its more interesting watering holes!
Hear from an expert on the history of the local pubs and hostelries and open your eyes to some of the more bizarre rituals such as the ‘Swearing of the Horns’. You’ll find out all about St Joseph’s Parish Centre, which has hosted everything from boxing matches to beauty contests and is still the cheapest pint in Highgate! And we chat to Kate Fugallo who ran the Lauderdale café with her husband Salvatore, from 1985 to 2014, helping take the organisation from one century into another! As she says, ‘we didn’t realise when we pitched up in 1985 it would turn out to be a major part of our lives and of our childrens’.

On A Role presents
Enid Blyton – Noddy, Big-Ears, and Lashings of Controversy.
Wednesday 24 April
Virtually everybody of a certain age has read an Enid Blyton book. She was loved by children (except her younger daughter who hated her) but vilified by the BBC, teachers, critics and librarians.
She sold more than 600 million books, despite all her work being banned by the BBC and many libraries and schools for more than thirty years. She was accused of being a racist and of using such limited vocabulary that it actually hindered children’s reading progress.
Her love-life was interesting and she had numerous affairs including with her children’s nanny. She enjoyed playing golf so much that she bought a golf course near Swanage. She died of Alzheimer’s in 1968 aged 71, mourned by millions of readers all over the world.
Liz Grand (previous shows ‘The Second Best Bed’, ‘Where Is Mrs. Christie?’ and ‘Mrs. Churchill – My Life With Winston’) plays this remarkable and controversial woman and brings you her story.
★★★★★
“The show’s subject is brilliantly played by Liz Grand, already well-versed in portraying strong independent women.”
View From The Stalls
“Liz Grand delivers a great performance as Enid and manages to portray different aspects of her complex character: she is arrogant, and somewhat vindictive at times, more self-aware at others and ultimately rather pitiable.”
Behind The Arras
Running Time: 60 mins
There will be an audience discussion chaired by Francis Beckett with Lords Peter Lilley and Neil Kinnock after a reading by professional actors of the play The Rise and Fall of Margaret Thatcher at 2.30pm on Thursday 25th April at the Upstairs at the Gatehouse Theatre. The play is about how Mrs Thatcher first won and then lost the leadership of her party. Both Peter Lilley and Neil Kinnock will be able to offer their perspectives on the play and take questions from the audience.
Art Exhibition: “Brush, Lens, Life” by Mika Hadar
1st May – 27th May 2024
This exhibition focuses on periods of serene contemplation in nature, fostering opportunities for the senses and the heart to expand and encounter moments of awe.
Mika is a London-based photographer, painter, and poet, integrating the objective lens of photography with the expressive strokes of a painter’s brush.
Their work is defined by its poetic, serene, and contemplative essence.
They view their art as ‘Visual Poetry’, where each medium- photography, painting, and poetry—expresses their inner landscape.
Mika explores the intimate connection between the observer and the observed through their lens. In painting, they respond to the view with their inner feelings and sensations, often blending brush and lens by painting over printed photographs, thereby recreating them with a subjective perspective.
Mika’s approach to photography and painting transcends mere documentation; it seeks to encapsulate the inherent mystery and longing in every moment. Their ultimate goal is to create an immersive experience that surpasses the visible realm, inviting others to share moments of wonder and introspection.
Come see Mika Hadar’s work at Lauderdale House during the month of May (1st – 27th). The exhibition is free and doesn’t require a ticket, but the gallery opening times change daily – please check on www.lauderdalehouse.org.uk or call 020 8348 8716 when planning your visit.

Art Exhibition: “Brush, Lens, Life” by Mika Hadar
1st May – 27th May 2024
This exhibition focuses on periods of serene contemplation in nature, fostering opportunities for the senses and the heart to expand and encounter moments of awe.
Mika is a London-based photographer, painter, and poet, integrating the objective lens of photography with the expressive strokes of a painter’s brush.
Their work is defined by its poetic, serene, and contemplative essence.
They view their art as ‘Visual Poetry’, where each medium- photography, painting, and poetry—expresses their inner landscape.
Mika explores the intimate connection between the observer and the observed through their lens. In painting, they respond to the view with their inner feelings and sensations, often blending brush and lens by painting over printed photographs, thereby recreating them with a subjective perspective.
Mika’s approach to photography and painting transcends mere documentation; it seeks to encapsulate the inherent mystery and longing in every moment. Their ultimate goal is to create an immersive experience that surpasses the visible realm, inviting others to share moments of wonder and introspection.
Come see Mika Hadar’s work at Lauderdale House during the month of May (1st – 27th). The exhibition is free and doesn’t require a ticket, but the gallery opening times change daily – please check on www.lauderdalehouse.org.uk or call 020 8348 8716 when planning your visit.
