Exhibition at Highgate Gallery: Fates and Furies

4 – 17 July 2025

Vivien Thomason is a consummate colourist. She drips, swirls, layers and streams colour sometimes balanced and harmonious, sometimes menacing and unexpected. Her abstract works are a clear statement about the power of colour to energise our senses and feed our thoughts and fantasies.

The traumas of the earth and the rage of long-forgotten victims are all recurring themes. Unashamedly gothic, Vivien often incorporates apocalyptic figures storming from the canvas like ‘Furies’ on a quest to avenge the injustices and misogyny of the world. Vivien also re-works Gauguin’s Tahitian paintings, reclaiming the exploited young women as empowered ‘witches’, no longer weak or submissive. Other compositions include ‘maps’ of the sea and land incorporating bird and animal motifs, ‘necklace’ paintings with large carved beads layered over mourning ‘figures’, lost in lament. Regardless of the dramatic themes, touches of humour are also in evidence. Her paintings are rendered and dripped in liquid acrylics.

After a lengthy career in fashion, Vivien picked up her paints and poured her passions onto canvas. Her career made her profoundly aware how colour can appeal and affect mood. It also clarified how women are treated and often exploited in the industry. After years of faster and faster fashion, Vivien seeks to make amends by creating work that references the state of our world today and the climate catastrophe.

Wilma Johnson

Ghosts of the Madruga

12 – 25 September

 

The Madrugada – the time between midnight and dawn when barriers between

the worlds are fragile and dreams and reality mingle.

Wilma Johnson creates vivid dreamscapes in which real people cross paths

with goddesses, gorgons and mythological creatures.

Many are set in her childhood home in Highgate which was destroyed by fire

– the spirit of the house has presence of its own.

Ghosts of the Madruga

12 – 25 September

 

The Madrugada – the time between midnight and dawn when barriers between

the worlds are fragile and dreams and reality mingle.

Wilma Johnson creates vivid dreamscapes in which real people cross paths

with goddesses, gorgons and mythological creatures.

Many are set in her childhood home in Highgate which was destroyed by fire

– the spirit of the house has presence of its own.

Make England Great Again @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse

Francis Beckett’s new play Make England Great Again is set just after the Britons First Party wins its first ever general election victory, and its charismatic leader Max Moore enters 10 Downing Street.

It’s a comedy, but also a warning.

Francis Beckett’s last three plays have had successful runs at Upstairs at the Gatehouse.  The New Statesman called A Modest Little Man a moving and entertaining play about Clement Attlee.”

In The House Magazine, John McDonnell MP wrote of Vodka with Stalin: “As always with Francis’s work, you can’t fail to become emotionally close to the characters.”

His Tom Lehrer is Teaching Math and Doesn’t Want to Talk to You was “A glorious celebration of one of the brightest, wittiest and most principled satirists”.

Accidental Death of an Anarchist @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Oct 9 @ 7:30 pm – Oct 12 @ 3:00 pm
Accidental Death of an Anarchist @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse

Accidental Death of an Anarchist
by Dario Fo
Adapted by Tim Supple & Alan Cumming

This amateur production of Accidental Death of an Anarchist is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd.

A master of disguise walks into a police station… and chaos ensues.

When a cunning con artist finds himself in police custody, he discovers something far more valuable than any heist—the perfect opportunity to turn the tables on authority itself. Armed with lightning-quick wit and a dangerous talent for impersonation, he transforms an ordinary day at the station into an extraordinary game of cat and mouse.

What begins as simple trickery evolves into something much more explosive, where every joke hides a barb, every laugh reveals a crack in the system, and nothing is quite what it seems. In this whirlwind of mistaken identities and verbal acrobatics, the question isn’t just who’s fooling whom—it’s whether anyone has the stomach for the truth when it arises.

A razor-sharp political farce that proves the most dangerous weapon isn’t a gun—it’s laughter.

Moominvalley in November @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
A New Musical
 
It’s autumn in Moominvalley. Leaves are falling, rain has settled in. Six strangers arrive, each searching for something. Snufkin is looking for a melody. Fillyjonk longs for order. And Toft wants, more than anything, to meet the Moomins. 
 
But the house is empty. The valley is quiet. The Moomins have gone. 
 
Based on Tove Jansson’s final Moomin story, Moominvalley in November is a gentle, profound, and life-affirming meditation on grief, belonging, and quiet resilience.
