LEARNING
A brand-new play with an original score and captivating movement, LEARNING unravels the poignant journey of Debs and Jonathan—a couple hurtling in opposite directions.
As Jonathan embraces the Jewish faith he’s spent a lifetime evading, Debs, disaffected by years of trying to live up to religious imperatives, yearns to break free. With moments of raw conflict and fleeting calm, they wrestle with the past, grapple with the present, and question whether their love can weather the divide.
LEARNING offers a heartfelt and thought-provoking exploration of identity, belief, and what it means to truly connect with others and with ourselves.
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.
