Spiezak productions presents the first London revival of The Goodbye Girl. A musical from the writers of The Odd Couple, A Chorus Line and City of Angels.
Paula McFaden is an out of work dancer, the wrong side of thirty, who has watched too many men say goodbye. When hapless actor Elliot Garfield knocks on the door of her New York apartment, his dreams of stardom and her dreams of stability become a shared nightmare.
The Goodbye Girl is a wry, comic musical about letting go of your baggage and learning to love the unexpected. It is based on Neil Simon‘s Academy Award and Golden Globe award winning film and features the same unique humour that has made Simon the most popular playwright in Broadway History, fused with a vibrant, cinematic score that stands among Hamlisch‘s strongest work.

Dr David McAllister will discuss attitudes to burial in the years leading up to the birth of the Garden Cemetery movement in the early nineteenth century and the establishment of Highgate Cemetery itself. His talk will focus on attempts by a series of writers including Wordsworth, Burke, Godwin and Bentham to identify the value of buried bodies, and to establish whether the grave was anything more than an inefficient dumping ground for human remains.
David McAllister is a lecturer in Victorian Literature at Birkbeck, University of London, and course director of its MA in Victorian Studies.

After a sell out run of The Jewish Legacy celebrating the Jewish contribution to musical theatre, Aria Entertainment returns with a new production; The Jewish Legends.
A celebration of some of the greatest Jewish performers in entertainment history!
Why did American Jews find such success in the world of entertainment? Because they arrived in America in the late nineteenth century with nothing but a gift to peddle. And what better to peddle than a song, a dance or a comic routine.
This show uniquely explores a century of song, dance and comedy with a nod to some legendary performers such as Barbra Streisand, Al Jolson, Bette Midler, Sophie Tucker, Fanny Brice, Zero Mostel and Groucho Marx. Song writers include Burt Bacharach, Carole King, and Leonard Cohen.
Their songs, their lives, their stories.
Featuring a cast of four fantastic singers; Steve Serlin, Martin Neely, Joanna Lee, Molly Marie Walsh and a live band.

The third Highgate Debate to be held at Highgate Literary & Scientific Institution tackles the issue
of current drugs policy. Our two prominent speakers take opposing positions, roughly equating
to a ‘tender’ or a ‘tough’ approach to users. Molly Meacher will argue for a more liberal drugs
policy, while Will Blair will oppose any change. As with previous debates, they will be supported
by seconders from local 6th forms. Members of the audience will then be invited to make
contributions from the floor. The Debates will be free and open to the general public, as well as
HLSI members.
THE DEBATE ‘DRUGS POLICY: TOUGH OR TENDER?’

Please come and help us for this annual deep litter clean.
We had a great turnout last year, but the litter bugs have been back and we need lots of volunteers to help remove fly tipping, waste and litter. This year the event will only be for the one day. We’ll be going into the depths of the undergrowth to see what surprises lie in store. From past experience we expect to find everything including the kitchen sink (in case you’re anticipating a refurb). Key to making this a fun and productive event is getting a big turn out as we did last year. Everyone involved was unanimous in commenting how rewarding the day had been and we were delighted with the result. Bring family and friends along and make it a day to remember.
We will supply gloves, litter pickers and bags. Strong footwear is essential. This event is organised with assistance from Haringey Council Parks Department
