Guerrilla Gardening
Aug 17 @ 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!

It’s terrifying, but at least we’re in this together.  

Itch is a new circus and theatre show that tackles our fear of death and the existential anxiety that grips us all. Blending philosophical and psychoanalytical ideas with juggling, acro dance and aerial dancing, Itch invites us to confront the ultimate truth of our mortality.

Jeremy Sassoon's MOJO @ Upstairs at The Gatehouse

Jeremy Sassoon’s MOJO

Saturday 31st August 7.30pm

A foot-stomping, barn-storming celebration of some of the most iconic and best-loved Jewish popular songwriters. Internationally renowned singer-pianist Jeremy Sassoon and his superb band will take you on a journey through the golden era of Gershwin and the Great American Songbook to the 21st century, honouring artists such as Carole King, Paul Simon, Billy Joel, Randy Newman and Amy Winehouse. Full of surprising and hilarious anecdotes and some of the most unforgettable songs you’ve ever sung along and danced to, MOJO is illuminating, uplifting and joyous entertainment. 
Jeremy, a former doctor and hospital psychiatrist changed career to become one of the UK’s most in demand singer pianists. He headlined at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club during the London 2012 Olympics and is a regular headliner at Pizza Express Jazz Club Soho, 606 Jazz Club and Berlin’s A-Trane Jazz Club. He recently graced the main stage at Love Supreme Jazz Festival 2019 with his “Ray Charles Project”, alongside Jamie Cullum & Ms Lauryn Hill. In 2014, his recording of the Marc Cohn song “The Things We’ve Handed Down” was featured on BBC R4’s Desert Island Discs and hit number 1 on the iTunes vocal download chart.
 
Ever since the show’s 250-strong sell out launch in 2019, the show has been receiving standing ovations in Manchester, London, Liverpool and at the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe, where the show played a 4 week run, gaining sparkling 5 star reviews and a live performance on BBC Radio Scotland. 
2022 Edinburgh Fringe reviews 
★★★★★ Pick Of The Fringe – “Five stars!”
★★★★★ AssemblyFest Edinburgh Fringe – “The perfect Fringe show”
★★★★★ North West End UK – “An eye-opening experience ”
★★★★★ Jewish Renaissance – “Sassoon has definitely got his MOJO workin’”

The Boys From Syracuse @ Upstairs at The Gatehouse

“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 LoveThis Can’t Be Love and Sing for Your Supper.

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