FAST
by Kate Barton and Stephen Bennett

How far would you go to find the perfect cure?

Celebrity influencers, protein shake peddlers, diet pill pushers… we tell ourselves it’s a modern phenomenon. But is it really? 

 

Fast is the true story of ‘Dr’ Linda Hazzard — complex, charismatic and utterly driven — whose promotion, in the early 1900s, of her own radical fasting cure, gripped the press and divided a nation. 

Was she vilified merely as an interfering woman in a man’s world… or were there darker forces at play? 

Following huge success in Brighton, Edinburgh and London, playwright Kate Barton and award-winning screenwriter Stephen Bennett have developed the original one-act play to bring you this full-length psychological thriller.

Reviews for the Brighton, Edinburgh, and London runs: 

★★★★★
In Kate Barton, the writer of Fast, they (The Park Theatre) have once again identified an important new voice. We will surely hear more, much more, from Kate Barton”

That Boy Has No Shoes @ Upstairs at The Gatehouse
Nov 11 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Voila! Festival 2024 and Lara van Huyssteen present THAT BOY HAS NO SHOES.

Following a four-star run at Camden Fringe 2024, THAT BOY HAS NO SHOES, “an immersive and emotional” performance comes to Upstairs at the Gatehouse for one night only as part of Voila! Festival. 

South African theatre maker, Lara van Huyssteen, reflects on the horrors of Apartheid from the perspective of a young person who was born in the democracy. With folksong and narrative storytelling, this “poignant production” highlights riots, forced removals, and protests that shaped the cultural and economic landscapes of democratic South Africa.

On four illuminated plinths appear an axe, an eviction notice, a passbook, and a camera who each take their turn with the microphone. In the performanceLara facilitates the space and the objects become repositories for the Apartheid struggle; they tell stories of who they saw, what they did, and where they were left behind. The result is “compelling” and “powerful”.

Praise for THAT BOY HAS NO SHOES:

 

★★★★
“Instructive, moving and horrific
EVERYTHING THEATRE

 

★★★★
“Thought-provoking

Exhibition. My Places, Our World: An exhibition of paintings by Dee Mclean @ Highgate Gallery
Nov 15 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm

Dee McLean: My Places, Our World

Nature may look chaotic, but it is very well organised and we mess with it at our peril.
Highgate Gallery 15-28 November 2024

London artist Dee McLean is set to unveil her poignant trilogy ‘My Places’, a compelling series of paintings and
books that explore the profound effects of global warming on locations dear to her heart. This work journeys
from her home near Hampstead Heath in London, through Louisiana in the US where she worked for part of
her career, to Alberta, Canada, where her daughter Tor lives. She explores how they are all intimately
linked by the changing global climate.

The inception of this trilogy was sparked by a visit to Hudson Bay, Manitoba, Canada, in November 2016.
Witnessing first-hand one of the stark environmental changes due to global warming, the reduction of sea ice,
deeply influenced her work. This trip marked the beginning of McLean’s exploration into the impact of climate
change on her cherished places, from extreme rainfall in Britain to rising sea levels in Louisiana and wildfires
and glacial melt in Alberta.
Her art takes its vision from the geology, flora and fauna of each place, looking to capture the ephemeral
nature of these environments through the lens of climate change. The paintings are a direct response to
the immersive beauty and high value of our ecosystems.
Dee McLean’s background in art and science uniquely positions her to create this impactful work. She
studied illustration at Harrow School of Art and pursued a career in Medical and Scientific Illustration.
Now, she merges her love of science and art in ‘My Places’, aiming to inspire others to recognize their
role in environmental conservation.
McLean has most recently exhibited at Highgate Gallery, London; studioMV, Louisiana and The Jasper
Yellowhead Museum, Canada.
All McLean’s projects have a local charity attached to them. Donations will be made to Heath Hands, the voluntary
organisation on Hampstead Heath and the Jasper Community Team Society who are supporting the community in
one of her ‘Places’, Jasper, Alberta, where a ferocious wildfire, driven by the climate crisis, has recently destroyed.
30% of homes and businesses in the small mountain town. For further information about both these groups go to:
www.heath-hands.org.uk and www.jaspercommunityteamsociety.ca

Dee McClean: My Places, Our World @ Highgate Literary & Scientific Institution
Nov 15 @ 1:00 pm – 7:00 pm

London artist Dee McLean is set to unveil her poignant trilogy ‘My Places’, a compelling series of paintings and
books that explore the profound effects of global warming on locations dear to her heart. This work journeys
from her home near Hampstead Heath in London, through Louisiana in the US where she worked for part of
her career, to Alberta, Canada, where her daughter Tor lives. She explores how they are all intimately
linked by the changing global climate.
The inception of this trilogy was sparked by a visit to Hudson Bay, Manitoba, Canada, in November 2016.
Witnessing first-hand one of the stark environmental changes due to global warming, the reduction of sea ice,
deeply influenced her work. This trip marked the beginning of McLean’s exploration into the impact of climate
change on her cherished places, from extreme rainfall in Britain to rising sea levels in Louisiana and wildfires
and glacial melt in Alberta.
Her art takes its vision from the geology, flora and fauna of each place, looking to capture the ephemeral
nature of these environments through the lens of climate change. The paintings are a direct response to
the immersive beauty and high value of our ecosystems.
Dee McLean’s background in art and science uniquely positions her to create this impactful work. She
studied illustration at Harrow School of Art and pursued a career in Medical and Scientific Illustration.
Now, she merges her love of science and art in ‘My Places’, aiming to inspire others to recognize their
role in environmental conservation.
McLean has most recently exhibited at Highgate Gallery, London; studioMV, Louisiana and The Jasper
Yellowhead Museum, Canada.
All McLean’s projects have a local charity attached to them. Donations will be made to Heath Hands, the voluntary
organisation on Hampstead Heath and the Jasper Community Team Society who are supporting the community in
one of her ‘Places’, Jasper, Alberta, where a ferocious wildfire, driven by the climate crisis, has recently destroyed.
30% of homes and businesses in the small mountain town. For further information about both these groups go to:

FAST
by Kate Barton and Stephen Bennett

How far would you go to find the perfect cure?

Celebrity influencers, protein shake peddlers, diet pill pushers… we tell ourselves it’s a modern phenomenon. But is it really? 

 

Fast is the true story of ‘Dr’ Linda Hazzard — complex, charismatic and utterly driven — whose promotion, in the early 1900s, of her own radical fasting cure, gripped the press and divided a nation. 

Was she vilified merely as an interfering woman in a man’s world… or were there darker forces at play? 

Following huge success in Brighton, Edinburgh and London, playwright Kate Barton and award-winning screenwriter Stephen Bennett have developed the original one-act play to bring you this full-length psychological thriller.

Reviews for the Brighton, Edinburgh, and London runs: 

★★★★★
In Kate Barton, the writer of Fast, they (The Park Theatre) have once again identified an important new voice. We will surely hear more, much more, from Kate Barton”

Guerrilla Gardening
Nov 16 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

Our Guerrilla Gardening group has been busy with planning for 2024 since our evening workshop in November. Work has included a walk-about through the N6 area to survey 16 potential sites for our activities and developing a map with notes, so that we can assign actions (even if just monitoring) to each site.

We are now looking for people that can join us to grow this initiative. If you can help out at a gardening event (site clearing, pruning, planting), or might be interested in becoming a ‘champion’ for a particular site near you that needs care, or you simply want to know more, please do get in touch via the contact form on the website or by direct email to: infrastructure@highgatesociety.com. A member of the team will be in touch. You can also sign up to our occasional Guerrilla Gardening newsletter.

Meanwhile, the dates for gardening events have been fixed – see below – so do ‘save the date’ in your diary, if you are interested. We will provide further information as to the event activity and location, each month. Please note, some are evening events and they are not only Saturdays!

Saturday 23 March 10–12 noon
Saturday 20 April 10–12 noon
Saturday 18 May 2.30–4.30pm
Thursday 20 June 7.30–9.30 pm

Dee McLean: My Places, Our World

Nature may look chaotic, but it is very well organised and we mess with it at our peril.
Highgate Gallery 15-28 November 2024

London artist Dee McLean is set to unveil her poignant trilogy ‘My Places’, a compelling series of paintings and
books that explore the profound effects of global warming on locations dear to her heart. This work journeys
from her home near Hampstead Heath in London, through Louisiana in the US where she worked for part of
her career, to Alberta, Canada, where her daughter Tor lives. She explores how they are all intimately
linked by the changing global climate.

The inception of this trilogy was sparked by a visit to Hudson Bay, Manitoba, Canada, in November 2016.
Witnessing first-hand one of the stark environmental changes due to global warming, the reduction of sea ice,
deeply influenced her work. This trip marked the beginning of McLean’s exploration into the impact of climate
change on her cherished places, from extreme rainfall in Britain to rising sea levels in Louisiana and wildfires
and glacial melt in Alberta.
Her art takes its vision from the geology, flora and fauna of each place, looking to capture the ephemeral
nature of these environments through the lens of climate change. The paintings are a direct response to
the immersive beauty and high value of our ecosystems.
Dee McLean’s background in art and science uniquely positions her to create this impactful work. She
studied illustration at Harrow School of Art and pursued a career in Medical and Scientific Illustration.
Now, she merges her love of science and art in ‘My Places’, aiming to inspire others to recognize their
role in environmental conservation.
McLean has most recently exhibited at Highgate Gallery, London; studioMV, Louisiana and The Jasper
Yellowhead Museum, Canada.
All McLean’s projects have a local charity attached to them. Donations will be made to Heath Hands, the voluntary
organisation on Hampstead Heath and the Jasper Community Team Society who are supporting the community in
one of her ‘Places’, Jasper, Alberta, where a ferocious wildfire, driven by the climate crisis, has recently destroyed.
30% of homes and businesses in the small mountain town. For further information about both these groups go to:
