This June, we are delighted to present the ethereal works of William Cai, Chinese painter whose feather-light strokes immortalise the beauty of nature.
William Cai is an internationally renowned artist, accomplished in both freestyle brushwork (Xieyi) and fine detailed brushwork (Gungbi). His work has received many awards and been collected by museums all over the world. In the early 1990s, he was hired by the Victoria and Albert Museum to teach Chinese painting, and has since taught the discipline at various art institutions in the UK.
LONGITUDE
A Clockmaker’s Obsession
World premiere of a new musical with crashing waves, swelling music, and an emotional storm across the 18th century that will make you wish you’d brought your life jacket.
Come with us on an epic voyage across time and space to share the trials of a simple clockmaker who lost almost everything in his quest to save others.
A true story of betrayal, obsession, and injustice, conquered only by the love of his family and the intervention of Mad King George.

Elin Harries & Asako Ogawa
East London Shakespeare Festival is heading to Lauderdale House with sparkling rom-com Much Ado About Nothing.
Sun-soaked mischief & romance under the Mediterranean stars. Set against the luxurious backdrop of a modern-day Messina, this opulent tale is brimming with wit, trickery & mischief with heart coming out on top. With ELSF’s trademark contemporary twists and turns, high-energy party numbers and audience participation. A family friendly night!
The East London Shakespeare Festival (ELSF) merges the contemporary culture of London with the inspirational storytelling of Shakespeare’s plays in outdoor parks and community spaces across London. They launched in 2021 with a magical, riotous, sold-out production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream (receiving an Off West End Award Nomination for Best Company), an 80’s inspired Twelfth Night in 2022 and another Off West End Award Nomination for Best Company Ensemble for Romeo & Juliet in 2023. A festival vibe will be encouraged with gates opening an hour before the show, so bring a picnic and why not sign up for a mask-making workshop run one of our in-house-party-goers (actors) – make your own mask and be part of the masked party!
Parental Guidance – the play features kissing. The show is directed by Rosie Ward. The producers – and co-directors of the East London Shakespeare Festival – are: Ursula Early & Rosie Ward.

Cordial invitations to Finding Place, our inaugural group show of contemporary paintings by 5 artists who originally met at the Essential School of Painting.
Find the list of works on our website or on the piano at the entrance to our show. The number on the left side of each painting takes you to the story of how each work helped the artist to find place for a connection to nature, an ancestral memory, time with family and more. A truly great looking show, found on the ground floor in Lauderdale House.
John Etheridge’s Blue Spirits are coming back to light up our Tea Lawn this summer, once again accompanied by the dulcet tones of jazz legend Vimala Rowe.
Led by internationally renowned Guitar legend John Etheridge, Blue Spirits is completed by Pete Whittaker (Organ) and George Double (Drums).
Drawing on a vast reservoir of musical experience spanning over 50 years, Etheridge distils the bluesier side of his musical world in a repertoire that has intensity and emotion as its main quality, with subtlety, fluidity and interaction as its centre. Pete Whittaker is a superb accompanist, and soloist and drummer George Double is celebrated for his drive and invention.
The Trio will be joined by special guest vocalist Vimala Rowe, known for her soulful and passionate delivery.
