Jellyfish and “primal rock” lead local venue’s Autumn schedule.

Posted on by

A jellyfish which saves the world and and a doll which goes on an accidental global tour feature in two of the events just announced by Myatt’s Fields’ Longfield Hall.

The doll — called Lottie — is the star of a puppet performance by the String Theatre in a production suitable for all ages, which is accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences. Clyde the Jellyfish, on the other hand, is on a quest for a friend in a “tentacle-tapping puppetry musical”, according to the Jam Jar theatre company.

Other events include “primal rock theatre” from Bones and the Aft’s Christmas party (pictured above) and — perhaps more sedate — a “mooch” around local areas including Little Portugal and the Minet estate.

Longfield Hall Trust is taking part in the National Theatre Connections Festival, 2024, by hosting two performances of Abi Zakarian’s brilliant play Age is Revolting –  a tale about a choir rehearsal descending into chaos when the class are transformed into their 80 year-old selves.

As part of the celebrations, Longfield Hall have formed their first ever Young Company, made up of 20 local young people aged 13-18, who are either performing or working backstage.

Two performances are being held on Friday, 15 March and Saturday 16 March, with both shows kicking off at 7.30pm.

“Hooligans” to bring love in a time of tyranny to Myatt’s Fields

Posted on by

A sell-out show born in the bomb-shelters of Kyiv is to be staged at our local Longfield Hall at the end of March.

Called Bunker Cabaret, the show is described as a mix of music, poetry, dance and film and is a “powerful exploration of love versus totalitarianism, and the personal conflicts of making art in time of war”.

The show is the work of a company called the Hooligan Art Community, who say it was developed partly in the bomb-shelters of Kyiv. The Longfield dates are a stop on a UK tour following a sold-out run in London last September.

Two performances will be held on Thursday 30 March and Friday 31 March, with tickets ranging from £5 – £22.
