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.

  • Leader of the Council Cabinet Member Bulletin Councillor Tony Newman July 2020
    Leader of the Council Cabinet Member Bulletin Councillor Tony Newman July 2020 LATEST NEWS Croydon Council Covid-19 Response Over the past four months we have been through unprecedented times and I am proud of how Croydon Council staff, elected members, Croydon NHS, the Voluntary Sector and all our other partners have responded to the Pandemic. Together we have ensured that Croydon’s most vulnerable residents, businesses and communities have been supported through these difficult times. However it remains important that we remember all those that have lost their lives due to the pandemic and our thoughts remain with families who have lost loved ones. Croydon has faced significant pressure, both in terms of the new demands placed on our services and financial pressures. The Council’s Cabinet has been meeting informally on a daily basis throughout the pandemic and Cabinet Members continue to work closely with officers to inform the Council’s recovery plan for the future. The LSP has met on a weekly basis, using technology to support virtual meetings. These meetings have provided an excellent opportunity for all partners to receive the latest updates, ask questions and coordinate actions. Like other local authorities across the country Croydon has spent millions on supporting our community through Covid-19 – from swiftly setting up hubs to deliver food and essential supplies to thousands, to providing welfare support to many, many more. AMBITIOUS FOR CROYDON Leader of the Council Cabinet Member Bulletin Councillor Tony Newman July 2020 Yet despite assurances from the Government at the start of this pandemic, that we would be fairly funded for this work, to date councils have only received a fraction of what they have spent.

If successful, we would receive £1.35 million from the GLA and would hope to pull in significant amounts of partnership funding taking the overall budget to over £4 million. Our bid included large scale events with companies like Arcadia from the Glastonbury Festival, an open access fund of £500,000 for local community projects, a structured approach to involve all our neighbourhoods and communities via 23 beacons situated across the borough, a new structure for decision making linked to the Big Conversation and the Culture Network set up after the previous Borough of Culture bid in 2017 and new investment programmes in social prescribing and job creation in the culture and creative industries. Our bid, This is Croydon, has been shortlisted to become London’s Borough of Culture 2023. This means we will now go forward to compete against seven other shortlisted boroughs in the final round of bidding in January 2020.
