Performance & Theatre: Euphorium at the Roundhouse - 14 August - 20 October 2020

Soho Theatre Company teams up with San Francisco's ground-breaking Antenna Theater to present Euphorium - a hallucinogenic trip through Samuel Taylor Coleridge's opium-infused fantasia, Kubla Khan.

Using MP3 technology, digital audio effects, multi dimensional images and a few Coney Island funfair tricks, Antenna succeeds in creating a pleasure-dome which transports the audience through a maze of sights and sounds to the netherworld of Xanadu.

'If you awoke with a start to find your head trapped in a kaleidoscope and your body falling through the looking glass, you might experience something like Euphorium.' Mercury News, San Francisco

Opening times: Wednesday-Friday 6pm-10.30pm Saturday 1pm-10.30pm Sunday 1pm-6pm (check when booking). Audience admitted in 90 second intervals. Euphorium takes approximately 40 minutes to experience - we advise you to book your time slot in advance. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

The Opium Lounge is open to ticket holders only.

Tickets: Wednesday/Thursday £8
All other times £10 (until 8 September - then Weds/Thurs 6pm-8pm £12, all other times £15)

Tricycle Theatre: Cavalcaders - until 09/02/02

The Sunday Times reviewer wrote that Cavalcaders was: ‘A haunting, moving play, shot through with acid humour’. Following the runaway success of The Wexford Trilogy, Billy Roche's play is on until February 9th.

Meet the Cavalcaders - Terry, Rory, Ted and Josie - three generations of Barber shop singers from small-town Ireland. These likely lads spend their days mending shoes and their nights as singers of local legend, holding court on the charity circuit. This is the story of their lives, their loves, their betrayals and their memories.

Expect a delicious night of songs, sorrows and laughter.

The Tricycle Theatre is at 269 Kilburn High Road, NW6

The box office is on 020 7328 1000

Film: Harry Potter comes to Camden - 14/11/01

This miniature helicopter, flying around St Pancras, is filming scenes for the second Harry Potter film. Although the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone isn't out until Friday, work on the second of what is to be three part series has started already - in Camden.

The film crew launched the mini-chopper from the roof of Camden Town Hall on Euston road with the help of Camden Council film officer Dionne Walker. It was filming footage for scenes where Harry and his pal Ron miss the Hogwart's Express at Kings Cross Station which is travelling to their school in Scotland. To avoid missing the start of term, they use their Ford Anglia's handy ability to fly.

 

Exhibition: - Face Values at Diorama Arts - until November 10th

Roger Woodiwiss presents a series of portraits of apparently randomly chosen famous people, alive and dead, at Diorama Arts. Famous faces you can see here include Sigmund Freud, Jesus Christ and Saddam Hussein.

The exhibition takes an unusual angle on the conventions of official portraiture, including a strangely, even inanely, grinning triptych of our leader, Mr Tony Blair.

Like Andy Warhol before him, Woodiwiss uses celebrity images to ask questions about our attitude to fame in a media-saturated age. He also explores the 'often troubled relationship between originals and reproductions within this context.' Not sure I caught that last bit.

Diorama Art is at 34 Osnaburgh Street, NW1
The gallery is open from 11am-6pm, Monday-Saturday
Telephone; 020 7916 5467.

A group of players arrive in the Park to put on The Adventures of Pinocchio but disaster strikes when they discover that Pinocchio himself has gone missing. How will they put on the show?

Exhibition: Click 2000 - Photos of every street in Camden - 10/08/01

The Click 2000 Project to photograph every street in Camden is now complete. Click 2000 was part of the Camden History Society's Millennium History Project run in conjunction with the Camden Local Studies and Featuress Centre.

To celebrate the end of the project, the staff of the Local Studies and Featuress Centre have selected 100 images which reflect the incredible diversity of the urban landscape of Camden today.

During the project a team of volunteers led by the project's co-ordinator, Robert Leon recorded the reminiscences of about 150 people. These are also be available in the Local Studies and Featuress Centre.

The exhibition continues until Thursday 27 September at Camden Local Studies and Featuress Centre, Holborn Library, 32-38 Theobalds Road, WC1.
