  • JOSIE LAWRENCE to Star As MOTHER COURAGE
    JOSIE LAWRENCE to star as MOTHER COURAGE Josie Lawrence Photo by Scott Rylander Multi award-winning Josie Lawrence, one of the UK’s best-loved actress and comedians is to star in a new production of Mother Courage and her Children. Josie said: “I first read Mother Courage when I was an 18-year-old drama student and immediately fell in love with the play. Now I feel ready to play her. It’s a major tick on my theatrical bucket list.” Mother Courage and her Children by Bertolt Brecht is translated by Pulitzer Prize-winning Tony Kushner, whose critically acclaimed, sold-out production of Angels in America at the National Theatre was last week broadcast live to cinemas around the UK. Mother Courage and her Children will run 2 November - 9 December at Southwark Playhouse. Press night is Monday 6 November at 7.30pm. In a land ravaged by war, Mother Courage pulls her cart with her three children in the wake of the army, trading with soldiers and attempting to make profit from the war. Widely considered to be one of the greatest plays of the 20th century,Mother Courage And Her Children has been described as the greatest anti-war play of all time. It remains a timely exploration of displacement, war weariness and invisible enemies. It mirrored then, as it does now, the growing fear at the ever-advancing threat of terror infiltrating our everyday lives and our desire to protect ourselves and what is ours at any cost. Mother Courage And Her Children is directed by Hannah Chissick, returning to Southwark Playhouse after the success of the musical Side Show, and is produced by Danielle Tarento, whose recent successes at the same venue include the UK premieres of Grey Gardens (with Sheila Hancock and Jenna Russell), Titanic, the world premiere of Gods and Monsters and Chekov’s Three Sisters reworked for the 21st century by award-winning playwright Anya Reiss.

  • Duke Special Biography
    DUKE SPECIAL BIOGRAPHY By nature Duke Special is a curious person. He is curious about theatre, books, music, poetry, art, love, life, redemption, death, 78RPM records and most recently, gardening! All of this is evidenced by the variety of musical adventures throughout his career. His creative talents have seen him involved in projects as diverse as writing the theme tune for the Irish Sesame Street to writing the music for and appearing in Deborah Warner’s critically acclaimed 2009 production of Bertolt Brecht’s ‘Mother Courage and Her Children’ at London’s National Theatre. He has presented a documentary on the life of '50s megastar Ruby Murray and has been commissioned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to write a series of original songs based on photographs for their exhibition of the photographers Stieglitz, Steichen, and Strand. More recently, he joined forces with stand-up comedian Andrew Doyle, together bringing a brand new musical adaptation of 'Gulliver's Travels' to the Lyric Theatre in his native Belfast. In 2016 he was appointed as the Artist In Residence at the Lyric and as part of this residency, he worked on writing a musical adaptation of Huckleberry Finn , based on songs written by Kurt Weill, which will premiere in 2018. Duke has just finished his latest studio album, ' Hallow '; a beautiful collection of songs entirely based on poems by Belfast contemporary poet Michael Longley, who was once described by his friend Seamus Heaney as 'a keeper of the artistic estate, a custodian of griefs and wonders'. His poetry is full of gentleness, honesty, mischief and love, and peppered with a cast of artists, animals, flowers, friends and long forgotten soldiers.

  • Robin Hood As Much As Possible
    Issue 34 ∙ April-May 2010 . LeftLion Magazine Issue 34 contents April - May 2010 editorial Youths and ducks, If you’ve read any of the thirty-three previous issues of LeftLion, you’ll know that we’ve avoided covering the subject of Robin Hood as much as possible. There’s a good reason for that; because, like you, we’ve always known that there is far more to the Motherland than some bloke arsing about in Sherwood Forest, and we’d sooner give the less bigged-up avenues of Nottingham culture a shine. There are many reasons why we decided to cave in and roll out a massive tribute to the Hooded Man this ish. For one, it’s because of the resurgence of pride in our mythical lore. For two, it’s a reaction to the disgusting attempt by 9 16 28 the North to nick our local hero (hey, Yorkshire; we gave the world the greatest and most enduring goodies-versus- baddies story ever. You gave us Emmerdale. End of). For May Contain Notts CSI: Sherwood Music Reviews three, it’s because people ‘round here have finally realised 04 The local news diary that pays your 12 Carl Fellstrom on the link between the 21 Beck Stacey, Fists, Feelings By Design, that it’s time to firmly reclaim the legend for Nottingham, Nana and her mate to dress up as Merry Men and the Disaffected Youths Grande Duke, Kingclaw, Mascot Fight, and we want to chip in on the debate.

    ROINN COSANTA. BIJREAIJ OF MILITARY HISTORY, 1913-21 STATEMENT BY WITNESS DOCUMENT NO. W.S. 492 Witness John McCoy, Greenhills, Kill, Co. Kildare. Identity Battalion Adjutant 1918-19; Brigade Adjutant 1919-21; Divisional" 1921-22; Member of Bureau of Military History, 1913-1921. Subject (a) Important national events in Northern Ireland, 1914-1923; (b) Military operations of I.R.A. in the North 1919-1921. Conditions, if any, stipulated by Witness Nil File No. S.1666 Form Statement by John McCoy, Greenhills, Kill, Co. Kildare. I was born on a farm of about 70 acres in a bowl shaped valley surrounded with mountains in South Armagh. My mother who died when I was 15 years of age was an O'Hanlon. Her family claimed direct descent from the Princes of Orior who before the plantation of Ulster were the traditional standard bearers to the O'Neills, Princes of Tyrone. The last chieftain of the O'Hanlon clan was Redmond 0'Hanlon who at the time of the plantation of Ulster in or about 1670 was serving as an officer in the French Army and had been awarded the title of Count by the French Government. My earliest recollection of my mother was her recounting to me the successes and adventures of her famous forebearer who returned to Ulster to drive the Sassanagh out and deal in particular with the undertakers who had murdered his Ulster kith and kin and taken possession of his family lands in the neighbourhood of Tanderagee, Co. Armagh. I was told how this same Redmond O'Hanlon gathered together a body of men who were prepared to take up the hazardous endeavour of an Irish Rapparee in order to harass and dispossess the planters who had taken over all the rich lands of the area.
