A Restoration Comedy by George Etherege

14th – 18th March 2017

Tuesday – Saturday 7.30pm
Matinee Saturday 18th March at 3pm

Etherege’s rarely performed The Man of Mode sparkles with wit, romance and scandal. In an age where a person’s quality is measured by the cut of their coat, the pursuit of pleasure is more important than principles.
This restoration comedy follows the rakish young libertine Dorimant, who’s life of debauchery and seduction is turned upside down when he finally meets his match in the beautiful and clever Harriet. She refuses to seccumb to his charms unless Dorimant marries her and leaves the city for the countryside, which for him is a fate worse than death…

Original Impact are pleased to be back at The Gatehouse, following the successful UK tour of their debut play A Working Title.

The Band @ Jacksons Lane
Mar 18 @ 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Sandy and Bruno met in the seventies. She was fame hungry, he was doomed to follow her. As one hit wonders, this is a story of their big come-back. With Sandy’s determination and Bruno’s blissful devotion to her, they are here; not by popular demand, but by sheer defiance. With striking aesthetics and a rousing soundtrack, The Band is a quirky, humorous display of desperate ambition and blind affection.

Mondays @ the Mills: A history of climate change: why planet Earth is habitable

20th March 2017

A history of climate change: why planet Earth is habitable
Dr Philip Pogge Von Strandmann, London Geochemistry and Isotope Centre, University College London

Earth has been inhabited by life for almost 90% of its 4.5 billion year existence. The picture of a barren, volcano- and lava-rich landscape was therefore only true for a very short time. Given that life requires fairly narrow climatic and chemical conditions, this means that the Earth’s climate has been remarkably stable for most of its life. This cannot simply be a coincidence, and therefore means that there must be active climate-stabilising mechanisms. This talk will examine these mechanisms, both in the past and what they mean for the future of our existence.

Talks take place on Mondays at 7pm in the AV Room in the Mills Centre. Refreshments, including wine, are available from 6.30 pm and afterwards.

Elspeth Hamilton ENERGY @ Highgate Gallery
Mar 21 @ 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

This exhibition entitled Energy shows mixed media land and seascape originals, limited edition prints, and seven small oil paintings illustrating the landform project being created in Cornwall. Elspeth works on the cusp of abstraction and figuration. “I attempt to reveal energy, a vitality which, once engaged, never diminishes with time.” This has been the appeal.

Elspeth qualified as an architect from Liverpool University, practiced for years and was invited to teach soon after qualifying. She has no formal training in painting but as an architect was regularly asked to make substantial commissions in glass and paint, and to lecture abroad.

She designed three large stained windows in West London in 1981, 1989 and 1996, and in 1983 painted a huge political cartoon, a mural in a house in Westminster for an active politician. It was during these projects she realized the power of communication through composition. In 1999 Elspeth was shortlisted for Millennium artist for North Cornwall. Six interactive proposals were made, all local and doable, including a dark skies project down-directing street lighting – all seen as too ambitious.

This exhibition can be seen as a retrospective on 20 years of painting. Three years of blindness (2013-16) make this show a real celebration and a natural transition to any potential new work. Elspeth started painting landscapes in 1991 while teaching design workshops in Australia. In November last year she returned, with improved – but impaired – vision, to Australia to paint the extreme coastal points including Point Lookout in the west and Albany in the south-west, which may lead to an inevitably different style of future work, but for now a celebration of sight and works dated to 2013.

Initially Elspeth exhibited her paintings in themed shows, for example at Salisbury Playhouse in 1996, with 80 small works around the drum to highlight erosion and pollution (the Sea Empress oil spill off west Wales and the breakage of Spurn Point road in Lincolnshire), issues in the environment but always the aesthetics of light, heat and sound as space makers, interactions that make a whole. This interest, focusing on energy and environmental conditions, has been reflected in the choice of subject and titles of earlier exhibitions. She has held a total of 22 exhibitions in London and elsewhere since 1994 and reviews, including the Spectator in 2002, have recommended a wider audience. She has also been interviewed on radio: Woman’s Hour 1994, BBC Radio 4 2013 and Liverpool City Radio 2008. Her paintings are held in collections in the UK and overseas. The concerns reflected in her shows underpin the educational facility in Cornwall as it progresses.

Intensity is a quality that penetrates the images which range from the quietude of a scene on the Thames to a force 9 wave off Land’s End. The interrelationship of abstraction and figuration mentioned earlier remains the prime creative interest to the artist. A timeless zero.

The next few years may prove very different. Elspeth hopes you and your friends will share refreshments with her as this new journey commences. She will be in the gallery throughout the exhibition.

Highgate councillors hold a surgery at Jacksons Lane on the 1st and 3rd Saturday mornings, and at the HLSI (Highgate Literary and Scientific Society, South Grove, Pond Square) on the 2nd and 4th Saturday mornings. There is no surgery on 5th Saturdays.

Councillors’ surgeries provide the opportunity for a constituent to meet one of his/her councillors face-to-face. The purpose is usually to discuss and hopefully to help resolve a local or personal issue in which Haringey council has or could have a role. Meeting at a surgery can be particularly useful when there are numerous documents relevant to the issue. Surgeries are normally held in the cafe or foyer area of Jacksons Lane theatre, but a private space is available if required. No booking is needed.

A new weekly Sunday farmers market for the community.

We’re delighted to be hosted by St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School.

St Joseph’s are especially delighted to celebrate the opening of the Market with the School’s 10th anniversary in September of the ‘St Joseph’s Children’s Garden’ project, enabling children in the Community to sell their garden produce and share their growing expertise.

Produce will include; Freshly pressed juice, soft fruit and top fruit in season, vegetables and salads.  Organic & free range meat, raw milk, cheese, plants & flowers, handmade preserves, herbs, pies, cakes and bread, wet fish and shellfish, free range eggs.

Something for everyone.

All farms are based within 100 miles of London and everyone is visited before they sell with us. Secondary producers such as jam makers have to use a minimum of 50% local ingredients and we ask bakers to use seasonal ingredients and free range/organic eggs. We’ll do our best to include locally based producers, anyone interested should get in touch with us as soon as possible.

Swish and Style @ Jacksons Lane
Mar 26 @ 12:30 pm – 3:00 pm

Tired of your t-shirts? Wish you had some different dresses? Save money by bringing along your unwanted (but wearable) clothes to our Swish and Style event and go home with a new-to-you outfit, all for free!

It’s simple. Have a clear out and bring good quality clothes to one of our seven events. For each item you bring, you get a token that you can exchange for another garment (maximum 10 items). Everything is free, everything is clean and everything will be re-worn and re-loved.

How it works

For the first hour (12.30 – 1.30), everyone is invited to drop off their clothes, shoes and accessories that they want to donate. Whilst we busily sort them into style and hang them on hangers, you’ll be free to check out the workshops – learning how to do simple fixes to your clothes and how to upcycle them into something completely different – a jumper becomes a hot water bottle cover, a treasured Babygro becomes a patchwork memory blanket and an old t-shirt becomes a bag. If you have any clothes that need a little TLC, bring them along and our seamstress can fix them for you for free while you wait.

The from 2pm until 3pm, you get to look through all the clothes and choose what you want. If you love it, take it. It’s first come, first served – but no elbows please!

What can you bring?

Please bring along:

  • Clean and wearable clothes, shoes and accessories
  • No damage, holes and stains
  • You can bring women’s, men’s, children’s and baby clothes
  • No underwear please, unless in sealed, unworn condition

Anything that we deem unacceptable will be given back to you and you will not be given a token. We have the right to turn away any item.

Please note only adults will be allowed at events. Parents with children under the age of 12 can bring them but they must remain under the parents’ supervision at all times.

Any clothes that are left over at the end of the event will be donated to the Salvation Army.

“Breaking Up is Hard to do”
Set during the 1960 Labour Day weekend at “Esther’s Paradise Resort Hotel” in Catskills, New York, the show features friends Marge and Lois from Brooklyn, looking for a good time and romance. They are hoping to find “Where the boys are” as Marge has been jilted at the alter and doesn’t want to be “Solitaire” so takes Lois to her honeymoon destination. Catskills is a resort which showcased young entertainers and Neil Sedaka met his wife of 54 years, Leba, at her Mother’s hotel there and contributed many of his own ventures into the book.

Inevitably two boys come along and the foursome together with Esther and the local comedian whisk us to 1960s colours and costume and the heat of Neil Sedaka’s singable catchy tunes. You WILL leave humming one of your favourites, but which one?

Will Information Talk @ Jacksons Lane
Mar 30 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Have you thought about making a will?

When we die, our families and friends will want to honour us by carrying out our funeral wishes and they will want to see that our property and possessions are distributed in the way that we have chosen. In both cases, we can take the stress and worry out of these decisions by letting our family and trusted friends know what we want by having a will that specifies our wishes.

Jacksons Lane are holding a will information day on Thursday 30 March at 2pm, at which Rebekah Hillman from Hillman Legal Services (based in Crouch End) will be on hand to offer advice and insight and answer any questions you may have.
