  • LATE COMPANY by Jordan Tannahill
    Press Information ! ! VIBRANT NEW WRITING | UNIQUE REDISCOVERIES Spring-Summer Season 2017 | April–July 2017 The European premiere LATE COMPANY by Jordan Tannahill. Directed by Michael Yale. Designed by Zahra Mansouri. Lighting by Nic Farman. Sound by Christopher Prosho. Presented by Stage Traffic Productions in association with Neil McPherson for the Finborough Theatre. Cast: Todd Boyce. David Leopold. Alex Lowe. Lucy Robinson. Lisa Stevenson. “When you wake up in a cold sweat at night and you think someone is watching you, well it’s me. I’m watching you. And that cold sweat on your body, those are my tears…“ As part of the Finborough Theatre’s celebrations of Canada’s 150th birthday, the European debut of “the hottest name in Canadian theatre”, Jordan Tannahill, with the European premiere of Late Company playing at the Finborough Theatre for a four week limited season on Tuesday, 25 May 2017 (Press Nights: Thursday, 27 April 2017 and Friday, 28 April 2017 at 7.30pm). One year after the suicide of their teenage son, Debora and Michael sit down to dinner with their son’s bully and his parents. Closure is on the menu, but accusations are the main course as good intentions are gradually stripped away to reveal layers of parental, sexual, and political hypocrisy – at a dinner party where grief is the loudest guest. Written with sensitivity and humour, Late Company explores restorative justice, cyber bullying, and is both a timely and timeless meditation on a parent’s struggle to comprehend the monstrous and unknown in their child. Playwright Jordan Tannahill has been described as “the future of Canadian theatre” by NOW Magazine.

Introduction 1. The Culture Network meeting raised a number important issues and concerns that need to be addressed about the implementation of the award of Borough of Culture 2023 status. This is difficult as the two planning meetings that were announced would take place in March and April are not going ahead because of the coronavirus emergency. That does not mean that debate should stop. Many people involved in the Network will have more time to think about it as their events have been cancelled. Debate can take place by email, telephone, Skype, Zoom, etc. Several of the issues and concerns relate to overall aims of being Borough of Culture, as well as practical considerations. 2. There are several tensions and contradictions within the proposals that clearly could not be ironed out at the time the bid was submitted to the Mayor of London.

  • The Future of Fairfield Halls
    THE FUTURE OF FAIRFIELD HALLS Sean Creighton, Norbury resident, historian, and Co-ordinator of the Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Network A discussion contribution by Sean FRED SCOTT, CROYDON PIANIST, ON WORKING WITH FH FH has always been co-operative in allowing me to book events there focused on performances involving local young artists across genres of music. ‘Soundpractice has staged events including lunchtime concerts, pre-concert foyer performances and events for last year's Coleridge-Taylor Festival. This last especially was a great forum for young people to perform; some students of mine were able to have premiered a piece they had written around SCT, also involving LMP in the performance. Last November saw local Youth Theatre Company Studio 74 give the first performance in Ashcroft Theatre of a new musical by Stella Coussell (South London composer) called 'Song for the World', based around the life of SCT, a further performance for BHM 2013 is currently being arranged. in addition, Soundpractice has been able to put on concerts as fund-raisers for Skeletal Cancer Action Trust, some of these have featured people affected by that disease. More of these concerts are planned for 2014. There will be a series of concerts in Spring 2014 which will raise funds for SCAT, involving a celebration of the 80th birthday of eminent British composer, and South London resident, Justin Connolly, who will also be performing himself. Future concerts in 2014 will also include prominent international artists in recital who bring their considerable following to Croydon. Included in current planning is to stage a major international-reach multi-genre music festival culminating in a collaboration to find instrumentalists, composers and conductors of excellence.

This production will be directed by MichaEl YalE, with set and costumes by Zahra Mansouri, lighting by Nic Farman and sound by Chris Prosho. One year after a terrible tragedy; 2 sets of parents, one dead son, one living son. Who is to blame? A suburban dinner party for closure after 17 year-old Joel commits suicide. The guests; his heartbroken mother and father, his so-called tormentor Curtis, and his parents. Far from finding the peace they seek, the dinner strips bare their good intentions to reveal layers of parental, sexual, and political hypocrisy. Written with sensitivity and humour, Late Company explores restorative justice, cyber bullying, and the ever-changing complexities of parenthood in the 21st century. Todd Boyce’s (MichaEl Shaun-Hastings) theatre credits includes The Exorcist (Birmingham Rep), The Last of the Boys (Southwark Playhouse), Hamlet (The Young Vic), The Women of Lockerbie (Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond), Glyn and It (Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, Guildford), Whose Afraid of Virginia Woolf (South Australian Theatre Company), The Normal Heart (Sydney Theatre Company), Limited Edition (Sydney Dance Company), Lovers from Hell (Ovalhouse), Dr Faustus (Sydney Theatre Company) and The Exonerated (Riverside Studios).

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. Current feminist theatre scholarship tends to use the term ‘heteronormative’. The predominant use of the term ‘heterosexist’ in this study draws directly from black lesbian feminist Audre Lorde’s notion of ‘Heterosexism [as] the belief in the inherent superiority of one pattern of loving and thereby its right to dominance’ (Lorde, 1984, p. 45). 2. See Diana Fuss, Essentially Speaking: Feminism, Nature and Difference (London: Routledge, 1989) for summaries and discussions of the essen- tialism/constructionism debates. 3. See, for example, Elaine Aston, An Introduction to Feminism and Theatre (London: Routledge, 1995); Elaine Aston, Feminist Views on the English Stage: Women Playwrights, 1990–2000 (Cambridge: CUP, 2003); Mary F.
