Tom Lehrer Is Teaching Math and Doesn’t Want to Talk to You @ Upstairs at The Gatehouse

In 1960, at the height of his fame, singer, songwriter, and satirist Tom Lehrer gave it all up. He spent the rest of his career as an obscure maths lecturer.

Requiem for Change @ Jacksons Lane
May 30 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Klein is a journalist investigating capitalism’s effect on climate change.

Her sister, Naomi, is a reclusive cellist battling nature to become pregnant.

Naomi’s husband is struggling to write a requiem to be performed at the World Climate Change Summit.

From the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps in 1945, to the stories of nature and Naomi’s young daughter, Requiem for Change is an epic devised piece about the struggle between late-capitalism and climate change.

Inspired by Naomi Klein’s book This Changes Everything, written by master theatre director David Glass and featuring a cast of 17 performers from the BA Acting & Physical Theatre course at East 15 Acting School. Originally devised with the students of East 15 Acting School class of 2018.

Requiem for Change @ Jacksons Lane
May 31 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Klein is a journalist investigating capitalism’s effect on climate change.

Her sister, Naomi, is a reclusive cellist battling nature to become pregnant.

Naomi’s husband is struggling to write a requiem to be performed at the World Climate Change Summit.

From the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps in 1945, to the stories of nature and Naomi’s young daughter, Requiem for Change is an epic devised piece about the struggle between late-capitalism and climate change.

Inspired by Naomi Klein’s book This Changes Everything, written by master theatre director David Glass and featuring a cast of 17 performers from the BA Acting & Physical Theatre course at East 15 Acting School. Originally devised with the students of East 15 Acting School class of 2018.

Tom Lehrer Is Teaching Math and Doesn’t Want to Talk to You @ Upstairs at The Gatehouse
May 31 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm
Tom Lehrer Is Teaching Math and Doesn’t Want to Talk to You @ Upstairs at The Gatehouse

In 1960, at the height of his fame, singer, songwriter, and satirist Tom Lehrer gave it all up. He spent the rest of his career as an obscure maths lecturer. This show investigates the strange disappearance of Tom Lehrer – and includes some of his greatest songs, like Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, and The Elements.

From the writer of sell-out shows including VODKA WITH STALIN and A MODEST LITTLE MAN, this new musical featuring the music of Tom Lehrer sheds light on the most enigmatic figure in musical comedy.
