Finchley Goes to War

This World War One guided walk comes to the borough led by a Blue Badge guide Mark King. Finchley was a typical north London suburb during The Great War and the walk takes in: the street where the very first British soldier to die, grew up; the green fields where cows sustained local residents and still graze today; the home of a leading industrialist and MP, whose stationary products were used in everyday correspondence between servicemen and their families; a hall that was converted as a hospital for injured troops; a community hospital, which is dedicated to the eternal memory of those from Finchley who died serving their country and finally the memorial where you can learn about why a French statue was erected in here.

Dead Sheep

Dead Sheep portrays the true story of how Mrs Thatcher, the most divisive Prime Minister of modern times, was brought down by her one time friend and political soul mate Geoffrey Howe. Using imagined dialogue to portray private scenes between the main protagonists, it recreates the events leading up to Howe’s famous 1990 speech, in which he criticised Thatcher for undermining policies on economic and monetary union in Europe, ultimately leading to her downfall and resignation. Dead Sheep is the result of two years’ research, during which the playwright gained access to Geoffrey Howe and other prominent politicians and advisers of the era.
