In the shadows of the newly-built Eiffel Tower and Moulin Rouge, the Parisian bohemian community flourishes. Four young men have been trying to make their mark in literature, music, philosophy and art. Financially poor, they are nevertheless rich in camaraderie and romanticism. But this approach can only last so long: are they ready for the consequences when romance meets reality face to face?
Following on from last year’s stunning production of Verdi’s Rigoletto, Opera Loki is delighted to be returning to Upstairs at the Gatehouse in Highgate Village after an extended tour of France and the UK in 2015.
Part of a growing trend of bringing popular opera to trendy venues, the cast includes an impressive collection of British singing talent. Opera Loki is a small charity that aims to support singers early in their careers and brings opera in English to regional communities.
“I think the roars of approval at the end of the evening said it all. It was a cracking performance.”
“What an evening. The only place I expect to be made to cry is Covent Garden, but apparently not! They were wonderful. Such a beautiful voice from the lead, and a beautiful face to go with it”
La Boheme is directed by Laura Attridge, musically directed by Harry Sever and produced by Jane Gray.

We’re back from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for the one year anniversary of Stitchin’ Fiction – The only new writing night where everything is decided on the night!
It’s on.
What happens when you take a handful of writers, add a dollop actors, whisk in a sprinkle of direction; and give them an hour to rehearse before doors open to the public?
Stitchin’ Fiction – The original new writing night where casting, directing, and performing takes place in the course of a single evening!
SF is a collaboration to provide creative minds a platform to workshop, and share ideas over new writing in a relaxed environment.
Roll a D6
6:30 onwards – Free Entry
How better to meet random people in a pub then with a session of Bullshit Scrabble (make up the words, and justify them to your new friends) or over a few rounds of Cards Against Humanity (“a game for truly horrible people”)? Or maybe you fancy trying out the best game to ever emerge from Germany? That’s right, the ridiculous Camel Up.
And if that doesn’t get you going, we also have other lesser-known gems like Rapidough (dictionary with play dough), Story Dice (an imagination stimulator like no other) or the sublime Love Letter (think Tinder without smartphones or shallow hook-ups). For the traditionalists amongst you we also have a number of Argos-based stalwarts including Chess, Draughts, Backgammon, Risk, Monopoly, Game Of Life, Operation, Hungry Hippos, Guess Who, and many more.
Organised by local nutjob David Harrison – him and his merry men have been running a regression session in the Dungeons & Dragons Speakeasy out back for the last couple of months. If you want in on that as well drop him a line on David@kililive.com.
