| 8pm Lauderdale House Waterlow Park, Highgate Hill London N6 5HG United Kingdom Details: Web site +44 (0)20 8348 8716 Free | William Shakespeare: Much Ado About Nothing - in One Hour Drama students from Niagara University, USA Don Pedro, Prince of Arragon, pays a visit to Leonata, the governor of Messina, while returning from a victorious campaign against his rebellious brother, Don John. Accompanying him are two of his officers, Benedick and Claudio. While in Messina, Claudio falls for Leonato's daughter, Hero; Benedick verbally spars with Beatrice, the governor's niece. The budding love between Claudio and Hero prompts Don Pedro to arrange with Leonato for the marriage. Meanwhile, the trickery begins as Don Pedro (with the help of Leonato and Claudio) attempts to sport with Benedick and Beatrice in an effort to make the two of them fall in love. Likewise, Hero and her waiting woman help to set up Beatrice. Both Benedick and Beatrice will think that the other has professed a great love for them. Presented by the Live Literature Company on the Tea Lawn at Lauderdale House. Directed by Valerie Doulton. You are welcome to bring a picnic, blanket or chair. Chairs will be seated at the back. www.theliveliteraturecompany.co.uk Booking not required. |

| 7.30pm Lauderdale House Waterlow Park, Highgate Hill London N6 5HG United Kingdom Details: Web site +44 (0)20 8348 8716 £30; concessions available | Patronage in Music and Arts from Thomas Howard to Napoleon Tomasz Lis, piano J S Bach: Italian Concerto BWV 971 Haydn: Sonata in D, No 50, H XVI/37 Haydn: Sonata in B, No 47, H XVI/32 Beethoven: 15 Variations in E flat major with a Fugue on 'Eroica', Op 35 Music in Unique Venues Polish-born pianist Tomasz Lis presents the sixth concert in the series of Music At Unique Venues. Lauderdale House was built in 1582 during the reign of Elisabeth I. In 1645 the house was inherited by the Earl of Lauderdale and visited by such notable people as Charles II, Samuel Pepys and Nell Gwynn. During the evening, Tomasz will give a concert as well as discussing the subject of patronage in music and arts illustrated with paintings by Van Dyck, Raphael, Rubens, Philippe de Champaigne, Canaletto and Ingres. Wine will be served during the interval and the audience will have exclusive access to the house and its surrounding gardens. In a world of increasingly standardised experiences Music At Unique Venues Concert Series allows the audience to enjoy the music and art in an entirely new, exciting and indulgent way. Each concert is given at spectacular and unusual venues, often not open to the general public. Every evening has a theme reflected in the programme as well as in the lecture given on art taking place during the concert. Art often reflects on the music performed, sometimes it's in opposition to it but there is always a thought-provoking link between the two. Paintings are projected on the screen and available for contemplation during the concert. The aim is to present music in its wider cultural, political, historical context and not as an isolated art form. Guests are welcome to enjoy fabulous surroundings having a glass of wine or a candlelight dinner of exquisite cuisine during the interval. |
