Feb 29 @ 7:30 pm – 9:15 pm

Quite Good Theatre and Upstairs at the Gatehouse present

SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD 

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.

The debut song-cycle from Tony Award® winner Jason Robert Brown (The Last Five Years, Parade, Bridges of Madison County), SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD is an anthology of short stories told through song that takes audiences on a journey, teetering on the edge of one moment that can shape the rest of your life.

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.

SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD

Originally Produced by the WPA Theatre, New York City, 1995

Original Orchestration by Brian Besterman and Jason Robert Brown

Performed by arrangement with Music Theatre International

In a world where people can break scientific laws just by understanding them, Zadie Sierra works with the government to lock away the rule-breakers: whether it’s thermodynamics, friction or even gravity. But her faith in the system is shaken up when she finds that the next nonconformist to be punished is none other than her scientist sister, Oriana.
Now Zadie must ally with an unlikely bunch of petty criminals: Ocean, a magician who can bend the rules of probability; and Griffin, a dentist with a cavalier attitude to biological laws. Zadie must fight against the system she once upheld, and stop her boss, Fabian Garve MP, from discovering the mysterious ‘Theory of Everything’ that Oriana has been working on.

Enid Blyton – Noddy, Big-Ears and Lashings of Controversy @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Apr 24 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm

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.”

Bear doesn’t like birthdays
He doesn’t like birthday parties or balloons
