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

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.

about 150 people. These are also be available in the Local Studies
