Jon Ronson’s Psychopath Night @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse

Tickets

Oct 12 @ 7:30 pm – 10:30 pm

Do psychopaths rule the world? How do we define normal? Are you friends with a psychopath? Are you worried YOU might be one?

Fifteen years has passed since he embarked on the adventure that became his ground-breaking and best-selling work, The Psychopath Test, and now renowned journalist, filmmaker, and author Jon Ronson reopens the case with exclusive anecdotes and fresh reflections, taking you on a thrilling exploration of madness and the elusive psychopathic mind.

Join Jon in 2024 for an electrifying journey into the enigmatic world of psychopaths and the perplexing concept of normalcy. In an age where society’s rationality is called into question, Jon will deliver an evening of incisive inquiry, seasoned with his trademark wit and profound insights.

Featuring mystery special guests central to the story but not found in the original edition of the book. Their extraordinary tales are brimming with twists and turns, and the less you know about them, the better. Don’t miss this unforgettable night of revelation and intrigue.

Guerrilla Gardening

Oct 19 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

Our Guerrilla Gardening group has been busy with planning for 2024 since our evening workshop in November. Work has included a walk-about through the N6 area to survey 16 potential sites for our activities and developing a map with notes, so that we can assign actions (even if just monitoring) to each site.

We are now looking for people that can join us to grow this initiative. If you can help out at a gardening event (site clearing, pruning, planting), or might be interested in becoming a ‘champion’ for a particular site near you that needs care, or you simply want to know more, please do get in touch via the contact form on the website or by direct email to: infrastructure@highgatesociety.com. A member of the team will be in touch. You can also sign up to our occasional Guerrilla Gardening newsletter.

Meanwhile, the dates for gardening events have been fixed – see below – so do ‘save the date’ in your diary, if you are interested. We will provide further information as to the event activity and location, each month. Please note, some are evening events and they are not only Saturdays!

Saturday 23 March	10–12 noon
Saturday 20 April	10–12 noon
Saturday 18 May	2.30–4.30pm
Thursday 20 June	7.30–9.30 pm

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:

★★★★★
“In Kate Barton, the writer of Fast, they (The Park Theatre) have once again identified an important new voice. We will surely hear more, much more, from Kate Barton”
LONDONTHEATRE1

★★★★
“A powerful play that is sure to have you gripped from beginning to end”
SPY IN THE STALLS

★★★★

“A chilling production…fascinating and entertaining”
THE UPCOMING

★★★★

“‘Unmissable…this psychological thriller plays with your mind and emotions’”
BROADWAY BABY

Shortlisted for Best New Play Award 2018 following sell-out shows at both Brighton and Edinburgh Fringe.

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:

★★★★★
“In Kate Barton, the writer of Fast, they (The Park Theatre) have once again identified an important new voice. We will surely hear more, much more, from Kate Barton”
LONDONTHEATRE1

★★★★
“A powerful play that is sure to have you gripped from beginning to end”
SPY IN THE STALLS

★★★★

“A chilling production…fascinating and entertaining”

“‘Unmissable…this psychological thriller plays with your mind and emotions’”

The Piaf Story @ Upstairs at The Gatehouse

Tickets

Nov 3 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

After a sold out performance Upstairs at the Gatehouse in February, Susan Black returns with THE PIAF STORY to relate the anecdotes and sing the songs that changed the course of Edith Piaf’s career.

From the slums of Paris Bellville as a street singer to the top of Eiffel Tower in the last year of her life singing Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien, Susan takes us on a journey through the highs and lows of this remarkable woman’s life whose voice and legacy for over 100 years still have an impact on our modern day society.

www.thepiafstory.com

Susan Black is a singer songwriter of many genres who has appeared at some of the top theatres and venues in London including Jermyn St Theatre, London Coliseum, Cadogan Hall and The Royal Albert Hall where she appeared alongside Dame Shirley Bassey and Beverly Knight for Rocco Buonvino’s production Beatles Go Classical with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

She also supported the late Robin Gibb at The London Palladium, Toyah Wilcox at Leicester Theatre, and Sylvester Stallone for a special Q&A at Manchester Arena. Earlier in her career, she created a one woman show with original material which won her an award at The Edinburgh Festival and then many appearances on the late Paul O’Grady’s Lily Savage theatre shows where she would include some Piaf songs in her repertoire. It was the audience’s overwhelming response to these songs that inspired Susan to learn more about Piaf’s life which eventually led to The Piaf Story
