“If it’s good enough for Shakespeare, it’s good enough for us.”

Rodgers and Hart’s classic 1938 musical comedy adaptation of The Comedy of Errors returns to the London stage for its debut at Upstairs at the Gatehouse, in a madcap tale of mistaken identity, danger and romance in ancient Greece!

Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant, Dromio, arrive in Ephesus as part of a long search for their respective identical twins from whom they were separated as children during a shipwreck. But citizens of Syracuse caught in Ephesus are subject to the death penalty. As fate has it, there’s another Antipholus who’s an established citizen of Ephesus, served by another Dromio. Confusions multiply as wives are baffled by husbands, one twin is wrongly jailed and Antipholus of Syracuse falls in love with his wife’s sister – or does he?

Arguably Rodgers and Hart’s best, the score includes the hit songs Falling in Love with Love; This Can’t Be Love and Sing for Your Supper.

Music by Richard Rodgers; Lyrics by Lorenz Hart; Book by George Abbott

Directed by Mark Giesser

Christine Watson: Journeys Through Colour

Pastels, Prints and Paintings

Christine Watson’s paintings, pastels and prints explore the essential qualities of cities, towns and villages

around the Mediterranean, places where bright daylight intensifies the richness of colours and the darkness

of shadows.

Christine’s work examines the passageways and stairways of towns and villages in Greece and the traditional

settlements of Morocco. Walls and roofs, windows and doors, streets and alleyways – the fabric of

habitation – are revealed as they are, aged by wear and weather. Her aim is to depict the relationship

between  spaces and surfaces without sentiment or nostalgia.

“I employ different media to reflect on the abstract qualities of these places, their light and shade, their

textures and colours. Each piece of work represents part of my journey through a town or village, inspired

by restless curiosity to seek out what is around the corner or up the stairs – maybe the perfect image for a   painting, pastel or print or even a pot of gold!”, she says.

Pastels and paintings highlight the colours characteristic of each location, using palettes that have endured

through the centuries. Pink and brown madder are the dominant colours of Marrakesh, reflecting the

surrounding mountains; yellow ochre and raw sienna are the principal hues of Fez, while Chefchaouen is

celebrated for its vibrant blues. And although Greek settlements are associated with blue-painted timber

work and whitewashed walls, closer scrutiny reveals much more richness. In Christine’s mezzotints, by

contrast, tone takes over from colour and serves to explore light and shade, textures and surfaces.

Christine Watson studied fine art at Winchester, The Slade and the British School at Rome, since when she

has exhibited widely. She is an elected member of the Pastel Society and an associate member of both  the

Society of Women Artists and the Society of Graphic Fine Art.

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!

Do come along to meet your neighbours, enjoy a good cup of coffee and find out what is happening in Highgate.

The planning committee often have someone on hand to answer planning queries.

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.
