SUMMARY:L.A. Salami meets Stage Door Guy
DESCRIPTION:L.A. SALAMI: \nAs much a philosopher as a popsmith\, articulate and versatile. One of the premier lyricists of his generation\, he remains curious\, still distinguishing the illusory from the eternal\, the true from the beguiling; keeping the faith\, in his own cynical yet impassioned way. \nL.A. Salami (Lookman Adekunle Salami) is a singer/songwriter from London\, known for crafting magnetic blues-rock songs with a postmodern twist.His love for music began when he first heard Bob Dylan on the radio\, subsequently leading him to explore more blues and folk music and inspiring him to write his own songs; unfortunately\, however\, he could not afford his own instrument and wasn’t introduced to one until he was given a guitar for his 21st birthday. After three months of soul-searching\, tapping into different creative avenues\, and sleeping rough\, Salami eventually had his first few songs written and set out to land some gigs. Success soon came knocking after relentless gigging\, starting with a tour support slot for Lianne La Havas in 2012. The rest is history. \nSTAGE DOOR GUY: \nA Mancunian walks into a bar in New Orleans. He staggers past a guy downing his 5th neat whiskey. They form a band. Stage Door Guy is a post-punk blues duo mash up of Professor Longhair\, The Dead Kennedys and Dr John Cooper Clarke. With three acclaimed albums under their belt\, they were described by Louder Than War’s John Robb’s as: “… a quirky off-kilter slice of snarky swing with a rocking core” \nTheir latest album is the critically acclaimed ‘Stage Door Guy Beach Party’

SUMMARY:ENDURANCE: The Ernest Shackleton story
DESCRIPTION:What drives a man to the ends of the Earth?\nAnd why would so many choose to follow him? \nSpontaneous Productions proudly presents its original play about the life of Sir Ernest Shackleton—Antarctic explorer\, Edwardian society leader\, and arguably Sydenham’s most famous former resident. \nSet in the stunning St Bart’s Church\, next door to the Shackleton family home on Westwood Hill\, this innovative production tells Shackleton’s incredible story from multiple perspectives. \nFrom the harrowing adventure of the Endurance expedition (1914–1916) and the daring rescue of his crew from Elephant Island\, to the astonishing voyage across treacherous seas to South Georgia in a rowing boat; from his troubled marriage to his relentless efforts to fund his expeditions—no aspect of Shackleton’s extraordinary life will remain untold. \nWritten by creative director Jonathan Kaufman and script consultant Jane Walker\, with additional scenes crafted by members of ScriptHub workshops\, the play is laced with humour\, action\, and brought to life by regular Spontaneous performers. This promises to be the must-see event in Sydenham this Easter! \n6 performances ONLY: \n\n7:30 pm\, Fri 25 April\, Sat 26 April\, Sun 27 April\nFri 2 May\, Sat 3 May\, Sun 4 May 2025\n\nSpecial guest on Saturday 3rd May:\nMensun Bound\, Director of Exploration on the two expeditions to the Weddell Sea that led to the rediscovery of The Endurance in March 2022. Mensun will join a post-show Q&A session and sign copies of his Sunday Times best-seller\, The Ship Beneath the Ice\, chronicling the quest to find the wreck. \nVenue:\nSt Bartholomew’s Church\, 4 Westwood Hill\, Sydenham SE26 6QR \nTicket prices: \n\nStandard price: £20\nPay a little more: £25\nPay a little less: £15\nUnder 18s: £10\n\nSuitable for adults and older children. Some scenes may require parental guidance. Duration: Approx. 2 hours\, including an interval. \nBook online: http://spontaneousproductions.co.uk/endurance \nFor school party bookings\, email: jonathan@sptheatre.co.uk \n  \nAbout the cast:  \nProducer/director/co-writer Jonathan Kaufman says ‘We are thrilled to assemble such a great cast for one of our most ambitious productions yet. Frequent visitors to our performances will recognise many of the regular actor we enjoy working with\, including William Hastings\, appearing in his 24th show with us. And we’re delighted West End performer Robert Maskell returns to reprise his role as Dr Henry Shackleton (Ernest’s father) as well as the older Shackleton. Robert appeared as Dr Henry in my sister Lucy Kaufman’s play Eleanor Marx: The Jewess of Jews Walk in 2018\, another famous former resident of Sydenham.’ \n  \nHe adds: ‘And we’re delighted that St Bart’s Church can once again host one of our events\, since we’ve become regular fixtures there every December with our popular Christmas shows. St Bart’s Church sits right next door to Shackleton’s family home\, so it’s very special to be performing in a place he would have known very well.’ \n  \n  \n  \nKATE BARRY\, OLIVER BYNG\, WILLIAM HASTINGS\, ROBERT MASKELL\, JODYANNE RICHARDSON and RAMIAH SMITH \n

SUMMARY:Postcards Part 2
DESCRIPTION:An evening of short plays inspired by real holiday postcards \n\n\n\nOur second ‘scratch night’ of the year is a highly entertaining collection of original short pieces\, both comic and dramatic\, inspired by real-life holiday postcards and written by members of our two scriptwriting workshops. Our first Postcards night was a collaboration with Pen to Print in Barking and was staged over two nights at Barking Broadway Theatre and the Sydenham Centre in 2019. \n\n\n\nPresented ‘script in hand’ by our professional cast\, with minimal scenery and props\, expect a diverse range of subjects and styles – from the surreal to the farcical\, from the romantic to the downright dark. \n\n\n\nProducer/co-director Jonathan Kaufman says\, ‘We love our scratch nights\, and so do our audiences – like a box of chocolates\, you never know what you’re going to get! And the cast loves performing them\, too\, with minimal rehearsal and no need to learn their lines. It’s always an adrenaline rush to put these plays on the stage\, and the writers’ feedback is immensely rewarding. \n\n\n\nAt the end of the evening\, we will be inviting the audience to vote for their favourite playlets\, with the winning playwright receiving a small prize. Please note that these evenings are often very popular\, so advance booking is highly recommended. \n\n\n\nThe performance lasts approx 2 hrs inc interval.  \n\n\n\nPlease note this performance is not suitable for children \n\n\n\nTickets: standard price £15\,  Pay a little more £20\,  Pay little less £10 \n\n\n\nAdvance booking online recommended: https://spontaneousproductions.co.uk/postcards-part-2 \n\n\n\nOr book in person at Kirkdale Bookshop (9.30am-5pm Mon-Sat)\, or by phone 020 8778 4701

SUMMARY:Aladdin – Family Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Our first family theatre show of 2023 – and our 23rd since we started at Sydenham Centre – is a brand new\, musical version of the beloved Arabian nights tale ALADDIN! As always\, with Spontaneous\, expect a bit of a twist…young Aladdin dreams of a life of lazing around\, maybe kicking a ball now and again\, and one day being rich and marrying a Princess. So when the malicious magician Abanazar promises him a ‘get rich quick’ scheme\, how can he resist? But when he finds himself trapped in a cave with only a dusty lamp for company\, what’s a poor boy to do?  \n\n\n\nFeaturing original songs and music by Paul Tornbohm\, video effects and animation by Joe Kaufman of Red Kite Films and costumes by Jackie Poulett\, expect a highly original musical show from the makers of Tales of Beatrix Potter\, Rapunzel\, and last December’s The Blues Brothers Grimm. With lots of surprises\, mystery\, mayhem and a magical flying carpet for good measure\, this will be an unmissable event this Spring! \n\n\n\nAfter her debut as Princess Yasmeena in Sinbad the Sailor in 2021 we’re delighted that Valentina Pakou is returning – in the dual role of Aladdin’s Mother and the Princess – as well as choreographing the dance routines\, plus Spontaneous favourite Paul-D Stephenson (last seen as Prince Baraka in Rapunzel\, and The Gingerbread Man\, Sinbad the Sailor) as the malign magician Abanazar. Then making a very special appearance on video is Spontaneous regular William Hastings as the Genie! Last but not least\, Jyo Miarkali makes her Spontaneous debut as that lazy scamp Aladdin himself! \n\n\n\n Our family shows are always very popular so we advise early booking to avoid disappointment. Tickets may be purchase in advance online (recommended) or at Kirkdale Bookshop in person (or by phone 020 8778 4701\, Mon-Sat 9.30am-5pm). Any remaining seats will be available on the door from 30 mins before show start time.

SUMMARY:Love Bytes: Future Shock!
DESCRIPTION:Our regular ‘scratch nights’ showcasing new writing by members of our ScriptHub workshop and playwrights\, the Siblings Kaufman\, are always hugely popular. So to launch our Spring season 2023\, we have combined our two most successful strands – Love Bites\, playlets on the theme of love and heartbreak – with 600 Seconds: Futureshock\, seen last Feb\, and exploring the impact of technology. \n\n\n\nExpect a highly entertaining evening of short plays that imagine how relationships might work (or not) in the future. From cloned housemates to dating apps that bring literary characters to life\, from a device that stores your dear departed’s consciousness to a nightmarish reimagining of Blind Date via George Orwell\, no subject is off limits. For lovers of Black Mirror and The Twilight Zone\, Love Bytes: Futureshock will bring you a startling vision of the world to come…So be warned!

SUMMARY:Frighteners 2022: 'Museum of Monsters'
DESCRIPTION:Dare you enter Sydenham’s historical Museum of Monsters? Founded by the irascible Ovaltine-merchant Sir Henry Hornbeam in 1881\, it has preserved relics and mysteries from as far afield as the Hindu Kush\, Outer Mongolia\, and Penge. Explore each room and marvel at ‘living’ exhibits from Transylvania\, Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory in Geneva\, an unopened tomb in the Nile Valley\, and a preserved werewolf’s lair from the Black Forest. Look out for the zombie tour guides – and as to the screeching ghost lady in white that supposedly haunts the museum’s corridors\, surely that’s just an urban legend…? \nThis is a ‘walk-through’ installation\, with professional performers in character as exhibits and tour guides\, creating an immersive ‘Museum of Monsters’ experience. Entry is at the visitors’ own risk – an early escape via the Fire Exit is optional! \nThe show is designed to be entertaining with an emphasis on comic scares. If the experience proves too overwhelming\, you are very welcome to leave at any time; just ask a steward (in yellow t-shirts) to show you the way out. *Note for families: we advise that this immersive experience is unsuitable for very sensitive children and those with a fear of the dark. \nCast includes: Kate Barry\, Oliver Byng\, William Hastings\, Angus Hepburn\, Megan Madaleine\, Chioma Nwalioba\, and Jodyanne Richardson \nScenario and script: Jonathan Kaufman and Jane Walker \nCostume design and associate producer Jackie Poulett
