SUMMARY:Queen Nanny: Legendary Maroon Chieftainess screening + Q&A
DESCRIPTION:We’re partnering with The New Black Film Collective for a screening at the Museum of London Docklands that unearths the story of Jamaica’s only female National Hero.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe documentary Queen Nanny: Legendary Maroon Chieftainess – by award-winning Jamaican-born American filmmaker Roy T. Anderson and Dr Harecourt Fuller – explores one of the most revered heroines in the history of the ‘New World’: Nanny of the Maroons. Her victory is celebrated in the present with her image appearing on the Jamaican $500 note and a posthumous award of Order of National Hero. Her resistance is an inspirational example of the many ways in which women have undermined slavery throughout history. Join us and learn more about this African warrior queen whose military prowess led her people to victory over the British army.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe screening will be followed by a panel discussion and Q&A with special guest speakers. Advertised end times may be subject to change.\n\n\n\n\n\nBlack History Month 2023 #SalutingOurSisters

SUMMARY:Brick Lane Bookshop presents ‘Sunday Strolls: So you want to go to Columbia Road?’
DESCRIPTION:Brick Lane Bookshop presents ‘Sunday Strolls: So you want to go to Columbia Road?’\, an alternative guided tour of one of the East End’s most popular destinations. \n\n\n\nSo\, you want to go to Columbia Road?  And who can blame you? That nice young couple with a baby struggling to push a fully grown palm tree onto a number eight bus tells you you’re not far from Britain’s biggest flower and plant market\, which only trades on Sunday mornings. But we’re not going to take the direct route. We’re going to follow some diverting diversions which show how much secret history can be found down some seemingly nondescript side streets any day of the week. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a ninety-minute walk of paths\, turnings\, and tales less told. You’ll visit a graffiti gallery most visitors miss\, see a sad\, inspirational statue\, and meet two extraordinary characters\, one nasty and one nice! \n\n\n\nFOR TWO WEEKENDS ONLY – SUNDAY THE 6th AND 13th OF AUGUST AT NOON.  \n\n\n\nTours start at Brick Lane Bookshop and are limited to small groups\, so please book early to avoid disappointment. \n\n\n\nPlease note although not a long walk\, the route includes two sets of stairs.

SUMMARY:"The Good Women" at Kensington & Chelsea Festival
DESCRIPTION:“The Good Women” is a brand-new funny\, bold and romantic piece of theatre inspired by a true queer love story. \n\n\n\nIt’s the 1960s\, the world is changing. Protesters take the streets against the Vietnam war\, hippies celebrate free love and a young band called “The Beatles” is rising to fame. But not in Switzerland\, where women did not get the vote until the 1970s and were legally confined to the kitchen and household. \n\n\n\nBette\, the star of a popular TV cooking show\, and Trudy\, a housewife\, are about to change that. \n\n\n\nYou’ll laugh\, you’ll cry\, you’ll meet two extraordinary women \n\n\n\n“The poignant two-hander depicts burgeoning love against a backdrop of political struggle. Simply staged\, the romcom plot balances witty humour\, social injustice & emancipation.” – Fringe Biscuit \n\n\n\n“This thoughtful glimpse into the difficulties faced by women in the 1960s is gently uplifting\, An encouragement to continue the fight for change.” – The British Theatre Guide

SUMMARY:Drury Lane – guided walk in London
DESCRIPTION:A guided walk larded with street theatre\, songs and pub stops\, exploring the rich history of one of London’s most colourful quarters. \nDrury Lane is a guided walking tour from Minimum Labyrinth. \nRobert Kingham (presenter of Pagan London) explores the rich cultural history of one of London’s most colourful\, creative and dangerous quarters. Squalor\, crime\, politics and plague provide the scenery for a teeming cast of rakes and poets\, actors and gamblers\, playwrights and pickpockets\, Freemasons and highwaymen\, engravers and compositors\, gunpowder plotters and pornographers\, butchers and beadles\, judges and jail-breakers\, suffragettes and whores\, in a story that stretches from Anglo-Saxon settlers on the shores of the Thames to the starched pomp of the British Empire. \nWe promise you a bawdy\, boozy bacchanal\, bursting with everything you have come to expect from master storytellers Minimum Labyrinth: obscure factlets\, dramatic sweeps of history\, dark mysteriousness\, musical protrusions and theatrical surprises. \nStarting locations vary due to opening times\, so we will email you two days before\, but it will always be in a pub or café near the north end of Drury Lane. We will make two further stops for a drink along the route\, and end at a fourth pub in the same area.

Although Hanc promised his pregnant wife never to race again\, he can’t resist the opportunity to beat the Germans in the first-ever Czech-German cross-country race and joins the competition. When the sun is replaced by a blizzard\, the race turns into a battle for survival\, and true friendship is tested. Using historical records to reconstruct the race\, the film sets straight events that have been reinterpreted by the political ideologies of the past\, creating a captivating thriller set against a backdrop of beautiful mountain panoramas where national rivalries are set aside in a race to save a fellow human life. \nFollowed by Q&A with director TOMÁŠ HODAN \nThe movie is part of the 26th Made in Prague Festival organised by Czech Centre London. The popular multi-genre festival is back again for its 26th edition. Representing one of the oldest national celebrations of European culture in the UK\, the festival presents an exciting programme covering film\, music\, science\, visual art and literature in various venues across London and beyond. Take your pick and immerse yourself in Czech culture this fall.

SUMMARY:Charles I and the Civil Wars: The World Turned Upside Down
DESCRIPTION:At 2 pm\, on Tuesday 30 January 1649\, King Charles I stepped onto a wooden scaffold outside Whitehall’s Banqueting House\, knelt in front of thousands of spectators and was publicly beheaded as a traitor. It was the brutal climax of years of civil war\, which had seen tens of thousands of people lose their lives and livelihoods as the kingdoms of England\, Wales\, Scotland and Ireland were plunged into chaos. \nIn this fascinating collaboration with the Museum of London Docklands and HistFest\, bestselling authors Jessie Childs and Leanda de Lisle\, and critically acclaimed playwright and history teacher Thabo Stuck will explore the complex events that led to the fateful moment of Charles’s execution. From the sweeping history of the civil wars and the human stories of debates\, battles and sieges to the mood within the royal court\, the character of Charles I himself\, the resilience of his wife Henrietta Maria\, and the decade-long republican rule that followed. \nIncluding music from Thabo Stuck’s critically acclaimed play\, #50Days\, a panel discussion and immersive re-enactment from the English Civil War Society\, discover the realities of a world turned upside down. There will be an opportunity to purchase the authors’ books at the end of the talk. \nThere are also digital tickets available to watch a livestream of the event. \n  \nAbout \nThabo Stuck is a history teacher from London and the creator and writer of #50Days. #50Days\, Thabo’s debut writing project\, is a Grime Musical that tells the story of the period that leads up to the outbreak of the 17th Century British Civil Wars. Using Grime music\, this show gives underrepresented Brits a voice in telling the story of one of the most integral but often misunderstood narratives of our nation. Described by The Independent as ‘a hurtling exploration of politics and revolution’. \nJessie Childs is an award-winning author\, historian and broadcaster. Her first book\, Henry VIII’s Last Victim\, won the Elizabeth Longford Prize for Historical Biography\, and her second\, God’s Traitors\, won the PEN Hessell-Tiltman Prize for History. Her third book\, The Siege of Loyalty House: A Civil War Story\, was published in May and hailed by Simon Schama as ‘almost Tolstoyan in its emotional intelligence and literary power’. Jessie reviews for many papers\, including the Sunday Times\, Guardian and London Review of Books\, and her TV contributions include the BAFTA-nominated Elizabeth I’s Secret Agents (BBC 2 & PBS) and two BBC series on Charles I. \nLeanda de Lisle is the author of the bestselling Tudor and Stuart history praised for meticulous research as well as strong narratives. She has a Masters degree in history from Oxford University. TUDOR\, her biography of the Tudor family 1437-1603\, was a top ten Sunday Times bestseller\, BBC History book of the year\, Daily Telegraph book of the year\, and History Today book of the year. THE SISTERS WHO WOULD BE QUEEN; THE TRAGEDY OF MARY\, KATHERINE AND LADY JANE GREY\, was a New York Times best seller and is the inspiration for Phillippa Gregory’s 2017 novel THE LAST TUDOR as well as Elizabeth Fremantle’s Sisters of Treason. WHITE KING\, a biography of the doomed Charles I\, was the winner of the 2018 Historical Writers Association non-fiction crown. Her latest\, on Henrietta Maria\, is a revisionist biography of a reviled queen and a Times and Sunday Times book of the year. \n  \nHistFest is an innovative history festival and events company\, which produces online and in-person events and courses for global audiences. \nThe English Civil War Society bring history to life through the authentic re-creation of 17th-century military and civil life\, stimulating interest in the turbulent period in British history when the country was torn apart by civil war. \n

SUMMARY:The International Premiere of Zátopek + Q&A
DESCRIPTION:The riveting story of a Czech Olympic icon and one of the greatest runners of all time\, Emil Zátopek\, became a global byword for sportsmanship and generosity and was driven into obscurity by the Communists after standing up for ‘socialism with a human face’. \nAn inspiring portrayal of the Czech Olympic legend Emil Zátopek\, one of the greatest long-distance runners of all time\, who won five Olympic medals\, set eighteen world records and redefined the limits of human endurance. It´s autumn 1968\, and in the wake of the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia\, the Australian runner Ron Clarke visits the retired Zátopek\, his friend and role model\, to help him overcome a crisis in his sporting career. With Zátopek amid his own marital and personal problems\, they walk down memory lane recalling Zátopek’s athletic career from Zlín factory worker who had never taken part in a race to Olympic hero in Helsinki\, while mapping the inner journey of a single-minded man whose unprecedented athletic success made him part of Communist propaganda with devastating results. \n \nWonderfully portrayed by lead actors Václav Neužil and Martha Issová\, it is the relationship between Zátopek and his wife Dana\, champion javelin thrower\, which is at the heart of the story as past and present alternate\, emotions and adrenalin run high culminating in a breathtaking reenactment of Zátopek’s 1952 Olympic gold hat-trick in Helsinki. \nDavid Ondříček\, CZ / SK 2021\, 131´\, English subtitles \nAudience prize winner at the 2021 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival \nCzech entry in the best international film category at the 2022 Oscars \nPart of the 25th Made in Prague Festival (7 Oct – 10 Dec 2021) \n6.30 pm – doors open \n7 pm Zatopek (no commercials) \nSeats will be allocated on a first come\, first served basis.

SUMMARY:Guided Walks London - The Unburied Corner of London
DESCRIPTION:Guided Walks London – The Unburied Corner of London\nA guided walk to uncover the layers of history that lie beneath the Museum of London. \nThe Unburied Corner of London is Minimum Labyrinth’s second new guided walking tour for 2021. \nWhen the Museum of London moves to its new home in Smithfield\, the existing 1970s Museum building on London Wall will be redeveloped. In June 2021\, Contemporary Art Society\, on behalf of the Corporation of London\, commissioned Robert Kingham (presenter of Pagan London) to lead a new walk delving into its layers of history. The walk does not go into the Museum itself\, but rather around and under it: and the stories\, buildings\, archaeology\, and people whose lives it has touched are every bit as rich and effusive as the collections within. \nOn this two-and-a-half-hour walk\, you will encounter the lost alleys of Barnaby Rudge\, the Infirmary for the Relief of the Poor Afflicted with Diseases of the Rectum\, modernist dreamers\, the brimstone doctrine of the Aldersgate meeting houses. \nIncluded in the guided walk would be learning about the sieges of London\, the well-water that cures drunkenness\, the biggest fire between 1666 and 1940\, the hermit of Cripplegate\, and the oldest Jewish cemetery in England.

SUMMARY:Havel
DESCRIPTION:New biopic contrasting Václav Havel’s moral stand as a human rights activist with his flawed private life\, buiding up a captivating portrayal of the man who has become an icon.UK Premiere. \n\n\n\nDir. Slávek Horák\, Czech Republic 2020\, English subtitlesCast: Viktor Dvořák\, Anna Geislerová\, Martin Hofmann\, Barbora Seidlová \n\n\n\nHavel\, up close and personal: such is the new biopic by director Slávek Horák of the critically esteemed Home Care. Focusing on the period 1968 – 1989 and Havel´s personal life\, Horák explores Havel´s metamorphosis from internationally celebrated but persecuted playwright to banned and jailed human rights defender and finally to president of Czechoslovakia. But it is his relationship with his first wife Olga\, suffering from her husband’s infidelities\, that is at the centre of the story. Situations from his life such as the secret police witnessing his failed attempt to resolve a love tringle in a restaurant mirror his absurdist plays\, provide humour and emotion while Horák’s imaginative use of actual theatre settings to stage key moments from Havel’s confrontations with communist power document his public persona. An excellent cast including Viktor Dvořák capturing Havel’s moments of uncertainty and weakness\, and Anna Geislerová as direct and decisive Olga\, complement a portrayal depicting not an icon but a flawed man who steps out of his comfort zone to become politically engaged. Watch out for news footage from Havel’s life under the end credits including the Rolling Stones in Prague castle. \n\n\n\nNominated for The Czech Lions 2020 Best Actress\, Best Actor\, Best Screenplay and the Czech Film Critics Awards. \n\n\n\n“It is the personal life that helps the viewer to experience the story. Because few people can identify with being jailed or fighting against the Communists\, as Havel did. But everybody can identify with a marital crisis or relationship problems\, which Havel – like all of us – had with Olga.” Slávek Horák \n\n\n\nThe film will be available to rent (from UK only) for £6.99 from 10:00 on Sunday 1 November GMT till 10:00 on Wednesday 4 November 2020 GMT on Czech Centre Vimeo on Demand via https://vimeo.com/ondemand/havel \n\n\n\nBONUS: Q&A WITH DIRECTOR SLÁVEK HORÁK \n\n\n\nOrganised by the Czech Centre as part of Made in Prague ON/OFF Festival.

SUMMARY:Executions - Opening
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\nExplore the history of public execution in London at this landmark new exhibition – opening on 16 October 2020 \n\n\n\nPublic executions were a major part of Londoners’ lives for centuries. More frequent in London than in any other town\, these morbid spectacles attracted thousands of onlookers at locations across the capital. \n\n\n\nFrom Smithfield to Southwark\, from Banqueting House to Newgate Prison\, executions became embedded in London’s landscape and people’s lives. Even today\, hints of this uncomfortable past can still be seen across the city. \n\n\n\nFrom October\, the Museum of London is bringing the lives and legacies of those who died and those who witnessed executions first hand to a major new exhibition. Executions will use a range of fascinating objects\, paintings and projections\, including the vest said to have been worn by King Charles I when he was executed\, to show how entwined this form of punishment is in the history of London. It will also reveal the rarely told human stories behind these events\, looking at the role not just royalty but all Londoners played as both spectators and participants. \n\n\n\nThis is your chance to discover how over nearly 700 years\, public executions came to shape the city we know today. \nTickets

SUMMARY:Art Deco in Baker Street Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:– A Study in Modern(e) Style and Elementary Elegance –From a block of flats boasting the largest rooftop garden in Europe to a towering head office offering passersby a guiding light\, ‘Art Deco in Baker Street’ explores how one of London’s most widely known streets has managed to strike an interesting balance between traditional and modern architecture. While following along the traces of bygone bazaars and lost cinemas\, the game is truly going to be afoot and visitors will not only be discovering how department stores and corporations have infused Jazz Age flair into their shop fittings and office facilities\, but also\, as if channeling the nefarious world of Sherlock Holmes himself\, be hearing tales about a mysterious ‘Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde’-style case of double identity\, a bold and brash bank heist (semi) gone wrong as well as a delightfully unconventional school for women detectives.

SUMMARY:Tudor Sights & Sounds. FREE event at Bow church on 14 Sept 2019
DESCRIPTION:Courtier\, or commoner\, whoever you were in Tudor London daily life was an assault on the senses. Courtesy of ‘A Merrie Noyse’ http://www.merrienoyse.com/ and some of our very own singers we’ll bring some of the nicer experiences to life for you. \nPop into the church between 1pm and 5pm to hear music of the period – and have a chance to join in. There’ll be other fun activities too\, all of which we hope will give a glimpse of the lives of our predecessors back when Bow was a quiet hamlet by the bridge over the River Lea (long before it was the setting for Adèle’s heartbreak). Meet some minstrels\, quiz them about the music\, their instruments\, what they’re wearing – and why – and enjoy a beverage while you’re here.
