MONKEY FRONT PAGE LONDON THEATRE MESSAGE BOARD

Apply to be a public panellist for the Olivier Awards 2020 The Society of London Theatre (SOLT) is looking for new public panellists to help judge categories for the Olivier Awards 2020, including, for the first time, a Family panel. To apply, see https://officiallondontheatre.com/news/apply-to-be-a-public-panellist-for-the-olivier-awards-2020/ Final week: apply by 10am on 28th January 2019 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tuesday 12th February until Saturday 2nd March 2019 Chickenshed, Chase Side, Southgate, London N14 4PE Chickenshed present: MONOLOG 2  For ages: 12+ New monologues from new writers! A dazzling array of voices and perspectives combine to form monolog 2, a new selection of fresh writing from within the Chickenshed community. Chickenshed will return to its roots by performing monolog 2 in their intimate new "Shed Theatre space". Performed with minimal staging, monolog 2 will allow the simple and unique power of the written and spoken word to reveal some comic and tragic truths about living. The seven pieces, selected from a huge number of submissions, shine a light on individual stories and experiences. The subjects of the monologues are hugely varied: a dystopian view of social media over-sharing taken to extremes; youth protest and activism; disability and artistic expression; a poetic and abstract reflection of what it might mean to bring a new life into the world; how it feels to live life on the margins, with only the most fragile of safety nets; life as a second generation immigrant in 21st century Britain; and the candid and honest experience of spending three years in prison. Raw, funny, sad, emotional, revealing - and surprising!

Known for pulling hearts out of chests to either wrench or kiss, Gibson has authored four full-length collections of poems, an illustrated book of their most memorable quotes (Take Me With You, Penguin 2018), and has released seven beloved albums. Gibson regularly sells out 500+ capacity standing room only venues to eager audiences,mouthing along every word, further popularizing the art form and creating a space for each person in the room to feel, and to heal. In a fierce oscillation between activism and love, Andrea Gibson’s newest literary triumph, released Nov 2018, ‘Lord of the Butterflies’ is a masterful showcase from the renowned poet whose writing and performances have captured the hearts of millions. An artful and nuanced look at gender, romance, loss, and family, this is also a show of protest. While rioting against gun violence, homophobia, and white supremacy, Gibson celebrates gender expansion, queer love, and the will to stay alive. Each emotion in ‘Lord of the Butterflies’ is deft and delicate, resting within imagery heavy enough to sink the heart, while giving the body wings to soar. Andrea’s ‘Lord of The Butterflies’ tour will be coming to the UK in May 2019. For venues outside London, see nvite.com. Time:  7pm. Price: £23, plus Booking fee: £2.91 per ticket.

Now an all-star cast of leading West End performers has been assembled for The Clockmaker’s Daughter – Studio Recording, a thrilling new studio recording of Michael Webborn and Daniel Finn’s musical faerytale.

The Clockmaker’s Daughter, an original story with original music, is set in the fictional Irish town of Spindlewood. Like most towns of age, Spindlewood, has its traditions. But no practice, custom or old wives’ warning is so firmly adhered to as ‘The Turning of the Key’. Every year, on the last night of winter, as the first day of spring unfolds, the townsfolk gather to take part in a strange ritual... The Clockmaker’s Daughter is a beautiful story built around themes of prejudice, discrimination, animosity and a fear of the unknown - a folk musical with a specific, yet timeless, feel.
