Vodka with Stalin @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse

Oct 18 @ 7:30 pm – 10:30 pm

In 1917 their world was full of love, hope, and the certainty of an end to poverty and hatred. Things didn’t turn out like that.

The true story of Rose Cohen in Moscow as Stalin’s purges began. Can her former lover, now Britain’s Communist leader and a drinking chum of Stalin, protect her?

“A compelling historical drama” from Francis Beckett, author of sell-out shows Tom Lehrer Is Teaching Math and Doesn’t Want To Talk To You and A Modest Little Man. Vodka with Stalin returns to the Gatehouse after two sell-out runs in 2023.

Running Time: 2 hours including interval

FAST
by Kate Barton and Stephen Bennett

“How far would you go to find the perfect cure?”

Celebrity influencers, protein shake peddlers, diet pill pushers… we tell ourselves it’s a modern phenomenon. But is it really?

Fast is the true story of ‘Dr’ Linda Hazzard — complex, charismatic and utterly driven — whose promotion, in the early 1900s, of her own radical fasting cure, gripped the press and divided a nation.

Was she vilified merely as an interfering woman in a man’s world… or were there darker forces at play?

Following huge success in Brighton, Edinburgh and London, playwright Kate Barton and award-winning screenwriter Stephen Bennett have developed the original one-act play to bring you this full-length psychological thriller.

Reviews for the Brighton, Edinburgh, and London runs:

★★★★★
“In Kate Barton, the writer of Fast, they (The Park Theatre) have once again identified an important new voice. We will surely hear more, much more, from Kate Barton”
LONDONTHEATRE1

★★★★
“A powerful play that is sure to have you gripped from beginning to end”
SPY IN THE STALLS

★★★★

“A chilling production…fascinating and entertaining”
THE UPCOMING

★★★★

“‘Unmissable…this psychological thriller plays with your mind and emotions’”

The Piaf Story @ Upstairs at The Gatehouse

Tickets

Nov 3 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

After a sold out performance Upstairs at the Gatehouse in February, Susan Black returns with THE PIAF STORY to relate the anecdotes and sing the songs that changed the course of Edith Piaf’s career.

From the slums of Paris Bellville as a street singer to the top of Eiffel Tower in the last year of her life singing Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien, Susan takes us on a journey through the highs and lows of this remarkable woman’s life whose voice and legacy for over 100 years still have an impact on our modern day society.

www.thepiafstory.com

Susan Black is a singer songwriter of many genres who has appeared at some of the top theatres and venues in London including Jermyn St Theatre, London Coliseum, Cadogan Hall and The Royal Albert Hall where she appeared alongside Dame Shirley Bassey and Beverly Knight for Rocco Buonvino’s production Beatles Go Classical with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

She also supported the late Robin Gibb at The London Palladium, Toyah Wilcox at Leicester Theatre, and Sylvester Stallone for a special Q&A at Manchester Arena. Earlier in her career, she created a one woman show with original material which won her an award at The Edinburgh Festival and then many appearances on the late Paul O’Grady’s Lily Savage theatre shows where she would include some Piaf songs in her repertoire. It was the audience’s overwhelming response to these songs that inspired Susan to learn more about Piaf’s life which eventually led to The Piaf Story

by Kate Barton and Stephen Bennett

“How far would you go to find the perfect cure?”

Celebrity influencers, protein shake peddlers, diet pill pushers… we tell ourselves it’s a modern phenomenon. But is it really?

Fast is the true story of ‘Dr’ Linda Hazzard — complex, charismatic and utterly driven — whose promotion, in the early 1900s, of her own radical fasting cure, gripped the press and divided a nation.

Was she vilified merely as an interfering woman in a man’s world… or were there darker forces at play?

Following huge success in Brighton, Edinburgh and London, playwright Kate Barton and award-winning screenwriter Stephen Bennett have developed the original one-act play to bring you this full-length psychological thriller.

Reviews for the Brighton, Edinburgh, and London runs:

★★★★★
“In Kate Barton, the writer of Fast, they (The Park Theatre) have once again identified an important new voice. We will surely hear more, much more, from Kate Barton”
LONDONTHEATRE1

★★★★
“A powerful play that is sure to have you gripped from beginning to end”
SPY IN THE STALLS

★★★★

“A chilling production…fascinating and entertaining”

That Boy Has No Shoes @ Upstairs at The Gatehouse

Tickets

Nov 11 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Voila! Festival 2024 and Lara van Huyssteen present THAT BOY HAS NO SHOES.

Following a four-star run at Camden Fringe 2024, THAT BOY HAS NO SHOES, “an immersive and emotional” performance comes to Upstairs at the Gatehouse for one night only as part of Voila! Festival.

South African theatre maker, Lara van Huyssteen, reflects on the horrors of Apartheid from the perspective of a young person who was born in the democracy. With folksong and narrative storytelling, this “poignant production” highlights riots, forced removals, and protests that shaped the cultural and economic landscapes of democratic South Africa.

On four illuminated plinths appear an axe, an eviction notice, a passbook, and a camera who each take their turn with the microphone. In the performance, Lara facilitates the space and the objects become repositories for the Apartheid struggle; they tell stories of who they saw, what they did, and where they were left behind. The result is “compelling” and “powerful”.

Praise for THAT BOY HAS NO SHOES:

★★★★

“Instructive, moving and horrific”

EVERYTHING THEATRE

★★★★

“Thought-provoking”

THE REVIEWS HUB

★★★★

“An interesting work of art, That Boy Has No Shoes is a moving retrospective”

A YOUNG(ISH) PERSPECTIVE

Created and performed by Lara van Huyssteen.

Featuring the voices of Stellenbosch University drama students, recorded in 2022.

Running time: 60 mins | Age guidance: 16+

Trigger warnings: A prolonged blackout, strobe lights, and loud noises. Audio descriptions of racism, violence, and death. Viewers may be disturbed by sensitive imagery.
