FAST
by Kate Barton and Stephen Bennett

How far would you go to find the perfect cure?

Celebrity influencers, protein shake peddlers, diet pill pushers… we tell ourselves it’s a modern phenomenon. But is it really? 

 

Fast is the true story of ‘Dr’ Linda Hazzard — complex, charismatic and utterly driven — whose promotion, in the early 1900s, of her own radical fasting cure, gripped the press and divided a nation. 

Was she vilified merely as an interfering woman in a man’s world… or were there darker forces at play? 

Following huge success in Brighton, Edinburgh and London, playwright Kate Barton and award-winning screenwriter Stephen Bennett have developed the original one-act play to bring you this full-length psychological thriller.

Reviews for the Brighton, Edinburgh, and London runs:

That Boy Has No Shoes @ Upstairs at The Gatehouse
Nov 11 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Voila! Festival 2024 and Lara van Huyssteen present THAT BOY HAS NO SHOES.

Following a four-star run at Camden Fringe 2024, THAT BOY HAS NO SHOES, “an immersive and emotional” performance comes to Upstairs at the Gatehouse for one night only as part of Voila! Festival. 

South African theatre maker, Lara van Huyssteen, reflects on the horrors of Apartheid from the perspective of a young person who was born in the democracy. With folksong and narrative storytelling, this “poignant production” highlights riots, forced removals, and protests that shaped the cultural and economic landscapes of democratic South Africa.

On four illuminated plinths appear an axe, an eviction notice, a passbook, and a camera who each take their turn with the microphone. In the performanceLara facilitates the space and the objects become repositories for the Apartheid struggle; they tell stories of who they saw, what they did, and where they were left behind. The result is “compelling” and “powerful”.

Praise for THAT BOY HAS NO SHOES:

 

★★★★
“Instructive, moving and horrific
EVERYTHING THEATRE

 

★★★★
“Thought-provoking

Tuesdays – Saturdays 7.30pm |  Saturdays 3pm | Sundays 4pm

At the dawn of the 20th century, two brothers driven by their dying father’s charge to seize the boundless opportunities of the New World set off to find their fortune. From the frenzy of the Gold Rush to the real estate boom in Florida, Sondheim and Weidman’s complex, catchy, and darkly funny tale based on the true story of the Mizner Brothers chronicles the curdling of the American Dream.

From the team that brought us Assassins and Pacific Overtures, Sondheim’s final finished work is brought to life in all its sharp, vaudevillian glory.

Townsend Rose Productions presents
LEARNING
by Francesca Rose

A brand-new play with an original score and captivating movement, LEARNING unravels the poignant journey of Debs and Jonathan—a couple hurtling in opposite directions.

As Jonathan embraces the Jewish faith he’s spent a lifetime evading, Debs, disaffected by years of trying to live up to religious imperatives, yearns to break free. With moments of raw conflict and fleeting calm, they wrestle with the past, grapple with the present, and question whether their love can weather the divide.

LEARNING offers a heartfelt and thought-provoking exploration of identity, belief, and what it means to truly connect with others and with ourselves.
