Andrew MacDonald’s practice has always been about people. His work reflects a continual fascination with who we are, how we feel, what our history etches onto our features and our responses and relationship to the world around us. The show will include his twelve Food Bank Portraits completed during 2024 to raise awareness of food poverty, as well as commissioned work.

Written by award-winning journalist Judi Bevan, Too Many Books is a heartfelt, thought-provoking debut play exploring the complexities of international adoption and the emotional journey of parents seeking to create a family.
Set in the 1990s, it follows Daniel and Julia, a couple confronting bureaucratic obstacles, cultural differences, and the pressures on their relationship as they pursue adopting a child from China. As they navigate adoption policies and judgments on their suitability, Daniel and Julia must reconcile their expectations of the adoption process with the stark reality they experience.
This intimate production sheds light on issues of identity, cultural displacement, and the emotional sacrifices parents make. It will resonate deeply with anyone touched by adoption or the longing for family.

Sunday lunchtime concert: Viola Lenzi and Isabella Gori
Sunday 23rd March
12 noon
10A South Grove N6 6BS
Entry £15 including a glass of Buck’s Fizz
Pianists Viola Lenzi and Isabella Gori will be combining forces on the Highgate Society piano to play us some four handed jazz and folk inspired music.
Think Gershwin, Greig and Dvořák – Slavonic dances, Norwegian dances, Rhapsody in Blue and three Gershwin preludes. A colourful tapestry for dance, culture and virtuosity!
A simple bedtime story swirls into a surreal tale of four flawed souls stuck in purgatory—a celestial bathroom—in this irreverent yet warmhearted new musical with songs by German pop-rock star Tobias Künzel (Die Prinzen) and Mark Underwood.
With four new arrivals but only three spots in the afterlife, St. Peter is barely keeping his head above water. As each soul pleads their case for a second chance on Earth, ‘help’ arrives in the form of (puppet) Elvis and, you guessed it, (puppet) former leader of the German Democratic Republic, Erich Honecker.
With hints of Avenue Q, this toe-tapping romp through the absurdity of bureaucracy, the search for meaning in utter chaos, and the hope that even the most flawed among us can find redemption promises to be anything but bog-standard.

Allan Jenkins: The Art of Still Life
This exhibition by fine art photographer Allan Jenkins, will focus on his ‘Still Life’ series and feature
flora and natural forms. These beautiful photographs are reminiscent of the still life paintings
of the old masters, with their elegant compositions, luminous colours and sharp details.
Jenkins has a fascination with the way that light can make objects magical and ethereal. Photography
freezes a moment in time, the objective is to record and intensify this stillness. The simplicity and honesty
of these photographs is magnified by the sharp focus and the tight, close study of intricate details.
In order to achieve a painterly effect, he applies a series of long exposures and depth of field.
His aim is to depict more than the human eye is capable of capturing in a single glance.
Traditionally, a still life includes a fully illustrated background, but Allan has developed a method of
isolating the subject matter against a neutral background, treating the objects like formal portrait sittings.
They are carefully lit and posed, and viewed from a particular point of view, much like a portrait.
The finished photograph conveys a sense of calm and serenity.
Jenkins says ‘the study of Still Life is a visual record and an investigation; it’s the search for aesthetic
refinement’. He is dedicated to furthering our appreciation of the ‘everyday’, striving to convey
an atmosphere of quiet emotion.
Allan Jenkins was born in 1969 in Wales and raised in Spain. He was educated in Spain and Yorkshire,
and has been based in London since 1993. He is best known for his hand-printed images of still life,
portraiture and figurative work.
Jenkins has exhibited widely and as a guest lecturer teaches at Central St Martins.
His work has been published in books, magazines and advertising material.
