In a new production commissioned by the Finborough Theatre, the rediscovery of Tony Harrison’s The Trackers of Oxyrhynchus in its first London production for nearly 30 years opens at the Finborough Theatre for a four week limited season on Tuesday, 3 January 2017 (Press Nights: Thursday, 5 January and Friday, 6 January 2017 at 7.30pm). Egypt, 1907. Two archaeologists, Bernard Grenfell and Arthur Hunt, are searching for ancient fragments of poetry and plays, next to an old rubbish heap. Until the Greek God, Apollo, descends from the skies... Apollo is furious that they have failed to unearth the fragmentary text of a lost Satyr play by Sophocles. As he forces the two papyrologists to find the lost play, Grenfell and Hunt become part of the story they have discovered. Multi-award-winning poet and playwright Tony Harrison remakes the ancient Greek original into a play for our times – and rediscovers the satyr play.

  • Council Leader Jack Hopkins Has Written To
    From: The Leader of Lambeth Council Our Ref: Leader 2020 03 20 Your Ref: Rt Hon Rishi Sunak Chancellor of the Exchequer House of Commons London SW1A 0AA Sent by email: [email protected] CC: [email protected] Tuesday, 24 March 2020 RESILIENCE OF LAMBETH’S CULTURAL SECTOR AND ITS SELF-EMPLOYED WORKERS Dear Chancellor We write with concern about the impact Covid-19 will have on our borough’s cultural sector and its self-employed workers. Lambeth is rich with culture and the borough’s creative and digital industries provide 22,000 jobs, generating £1.8bn GVA to the economy. The borough is home to 20 Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisations, including the National Theatre, BFI, Rambert and the Southbank Centre. Organisations that play a key part in ensuring the diversity and accessibility of London’s cultural sector are located throughout our borough, including the Black Cultural Archives, The Old Vic, Young Vic, Extant, Corali, Ovalhouse Theatre and Streatham Space Project. VCS organisations such as Iconic Steps, Creative Sparkworks and Spiral Skills join the afore mentioned organisations, and many more, in partnership led initiatives spearheaded by the council and backed by the GLA. Designed to strengthen the sector and achieve inclusive growth, these initiatives and the very viability of organisations are now under threat. In order to protect the resilience of the sector, Lambeth Council is calling for further mitigating measures from government. While measures such as the job retention scheme are welcomed, urgent clarification is needed over the groups of workers covered (e.g.

  • Spectral Latinidad: the Work of Latinx Migrants and Small Charities in London
    The London School of Economics and Political Science Spectral Latinidad: the work of Latinx migrants and small charities in London Ulises Moreno-Tabarez A thesis submitted to the Department of Geography and Environment of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, December 2018 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 93,762 words. Page 2 of 255 Abstract This thesis asks: what is the relationship between Latina/o/xs and small-scale charities in London? I find that their relationship is intersectional and performative in the sense that political action is induced through their interactions. This enquiry is theoretically guided by Derrida's metaphor of spectrality and Massey's understanding of space. Derrida’s spectres allow for an understanding of space as spectral, and Massey’s space allows for spectres to be understood in the context of spatial politics.

  • Black Georgians
    Subject Guide Black Georgians Ref. Wong/6/98 Ref. AN/3 Ref. EPHEMERA/292 Background The Georgian period covers the years 1714 to 1837, from the reign of King George I, the great grandson of King James I, through to the end of King William IV’s reign. For some, the Georgian period extends only until 1830, finishing with the death of King George IV. This subject guide, however, recognises the regency of King George IV’s brother, King William IV, which ended with his death in 1837. In 1837, Queen Victoria ascends to the throne, ending the Georgian period and introducing the Victorian period. The Georgian period was a time of immense growth and change in Britain, a pivotal point in British history. The emergence of Industrialisation during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries changed the landscape and economy of Britain forever, through the introduction of steam engines, large-scale production factories, and the development of a new network of canals.1 During the eighteenth century, there were a number of pioneering individuals who worked relentlessly as abolitionists, poets, political leaders, and radicals. They actively challenged prevailing notions of white supremacy and the system of enslavement that, until then, was dominating British consciousness. A number of these individuals published first- person testimonies relating the horrors of enslavement. These forcefully drew attention to a trade that many in Georgian society were unable to fully comprehend. These prevailing notions of white supremacy were challenged in all aspects of British society, through the arts, politics and sports. Whilst there were a number of prominent figures leading and shaping the campaign for racial equality in Georgian Britain, there were a larger number of more “everyday” Black Georgians, working particularly as domestic servants.

  • Late Company
    STAGE TRAFFIC PRODUCTIONS PRESENT THE EUROPEAN PREMIERE OF LATE COMPANY BY AWARD-WINNING CANADIAN PLAYWRIGHT JORDAN TANNAHILL STARRING TODD BOYCE, DAVID LEOPOLD, ALEX LOWE, LUCY ROBINSON AND LISA STEVENSON AND DIRECTED BY MICHAEL YALE AT FINBOROUGH THEATRE FROM 25 APRIL – 20 MAY 2017 As part of the Finborough Theatre’s celebrations of Canada’s 150th birthday, Canadian playwright Jordan Tannahill, “the hottest name in Canadian theatre”, will debut his play, Late Company, at the Finborough Theatre, for a strictly limited season from 25 April – 20 May 2017, with press nights on 27 April/28 April. The full cast for Late Company are: Todd Boyce (Michael), David Leopold (Curtis), AlEx LowE (Bill), Lucy Robinson (Debora) and Lisa Stevenson (Tamara). 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).

  • 03J Appendix 9
    Appendix 9 Major Projects update 1.1 Regeneration of the Vauxhall and Nine Elms areas. A public inquiry into the Northern Line Extension is now underway. If the scheme is approved, construction could commence in 2015 with the Council contributing £7.3m to the cost. London Underground has already started work on a £37million refurbishment of Vauxhall underground station. 1.2 The Council is working closely with TfL to pursue its aspiration of restoring a two way road network in place of the Gyratory at Vauxhall and a stakeholder group has been established to oversee the process. Two viable options are being modelled and consultation and engagement is intended to start in early 2014. 1.3 Construction is underway on the Tinworth Mews site, and the demolition is beginning of Eastbury and Hampton House. Full planning permission has now been issued for the Sainsbury site. The BT owned Keybridge House is to be submitted to planning Committee in January. Construction is progressing on the Damien Hirst gallery at the north of the Vauxhall Area, heralding the ‘Gallery Quarter’. 1.4 Regeneration of Waterloo. A number of significant applications are currently being assessed including South Bank Festival Wing, Hercules House Park Plaza and 600 student Oasis Academy. The new Shell headquarters building is currently undergoing a Public Enquiry and a decision is expected in March 2014. Elizabeth House was subject to a High Court decision and it is now anticipated a full Public Enquiry will begin in March 2014. While this situation is a setback, optimism remains and these and other proposals are critical to the regeneration of the area.
