It’s official: Blackheath Fireworks are back with a bang

T

he annual fireworks display on Blackheath is taking place on Saturday November 2 this year, writes Holly O’Mahony…

One of few major unticketed displays in London, Blackheath Fireworks have been delighting local residents as well as those from further afield for over 30 years. Run by Lewisham Council, the display started in Ladywell and later moved to Blackheath around the 1990s. Rarely has it been called off over that time, but this year it nearly didn’t happen.

Despite its status as a cultural highlight in the south-east London calendar – one that welcomes around 80,000 visitors – Blackheath Fireworks has run the risk of being axed in recent years due to government cuts.

To prevent this from happening, Lewisham Council now runs an annual crowdfunding campaign to help fund the fireworks, with Greenwich Council also supporting the firework display financially. This year, the campaign is aiming to raise £20,000 (and at the time of writing, with just under a month to go, had received nearly £4,000 of that amount).

Still, Councillor Jonathan Slater is unperturbed, encouraging those who enjoy the fireworks to donate, while insisting a display will happen in some format either way. “We’re doing a crowdfunder campaign to help scale the fireworks up more,” he says, adding that those who

4 October 30 2019

donate £20 or more will be able to pick up extras including Christmas cards, tea towels or tote bags relating to the display.

“We’ve been asked why we don’t make the fireworks a ticketed event, but we have several reasons for keeping it free,” Jonathan continues, citing the possibility of numbers dropping and the laws of Blackheath among the reasons, but insisting a desire to keep Blackheath Fireworks an open and inclusive event for the whole community to enjoy as the main priority. “It’s a fun, inclusive and safe way to celebrate Guy Fawkes night,” he says.

Liz Crook, Marketing Communications Officer for Lewisham Council, agrees: “It is hugely important to us that the whole community can enjoy the display and holding an organised event is a great way for families to enjoy a really spectacular show, safely,” she says. “It’s expensive to put on the event, so we still need donations from visitors to help it happen each year. People can donate on the night in buckets or online.”

The comments on the crowdfunder page speak for the event’s value in the community.

One donor wrote: “My children have enjoyed the fireworks on Blackheath for twenty years – I am very happy to offer a small donation to help keep them going.”

Another said: I’ve always enjoyed this firework display – whether from my home (we can see them from the loft!) or going up to the

heath. It’s a really happy occasion and in a way, marks the start of winter. Love it and happy to support it.”

An all afternoon and evening affair, Blackheath Fireworks is scheduled to take on a similar format to last year, with the funfair running from 12pm, food and drink stalls open from 5pm and the 15-minute fireworks display kicking off at 8pm. Local collective South London Samba will also be performing at the event again this year.

So, how to make the most of the event? “Get there early!” cautions Liz, who points out that with footlong frankfurters, pizza, Lebanese wraps and churros to tuck into, there’s plenty for everyone to make a meal of it. There’s also three bars on site this year, plus vendors selling various glow in the dark accessories, for those who want to go all out and dress the part.

“The fireworks display helps to raise the profile of our beautiful part of south east London; it’s an aerial display, it can be seen for miles around.” says Liz, concluding that it’s a great excuse for local residents to get together with their neighbours and celebrate Guy Fawkes night together.

Blackheath Fireworks is taking place on Blackheath on November 2, with the funfair starting at 12pm, food stalls open from 5pm and the fireworks display beginning at 8pm. Admission: FREE, no tickets necessary. www.crowdfunder. co.uk/blackheath-fireworks-2019

News from the Royal Borough of Greenwich

Black History Month As October draws to a close we reach the end of Black History Month. We hope you’ve been able to join in some of the celebrations, but if not, here are some of the highlights from the Royal Greenwich programme sponsored by U+I.

Walk this way Our Black History Month crossings in Eltham, Woolwich, Plumstead and Greenwich literally stopped traffic.

Notes to remember Europe’s only BAME majority orchestra Chineke! gave us a hint of what’s to come when they take up residency in our new creative district Woolwich Works. They took the music of Ignatius Sancho, one time Greenwich resident and the first black man to vote, to Plumcroft and Thomas Tallis schools.

Sharing journeys Our event in Woolwich Town Hall saw schools and other organisations join members of the community as they shared their stories of their arrival in Royal Greenwich. With a finale performance by Chineke! and exhibitions provided by local groups and the Caribbean Social Forum, the event was a big hit with guests.

Getting crafty Children joined Global Fusion Music and Arts for a series of workshops which explored black history through crafts and culture.

The Riddle Within brings two new escape room challenges to Greenwich

Y

ou’re on a pirate ship, a spacecraft or a zombie’s stomping ground. You’re in a team of around six and you have a limited amount of time to crack a series of codes that’ll help you break free and find safety, writes Holly O’Mahony…

Escape rooms are a growing trend in London and beyond, loved for being an inclusive form of entertainment that friends, family members and even colleagues can enjoy together.

Jumping on the bandwagon is The Riddle Within, a new company opening two escape room challenges on the site of music venue Studio 338 in Greenwich.

The Riddle Within is a collaboration between Studio 338’s music and events director Dan Perrin and his brother Sam, who has spent his career creating video games and more recently, virtual reality experiences. Having seen the rising popularity of escape rooms, the brothers were keen to pool their expertise to create their own. Conscious they were both new to the field, the pair decided to pull in the expertise of Bewilderbox, a Brighton-based escape room company, to help create their games: ‘Flight 338’ and ‘Chernobyl: 10 Seconds to Midnight’.

Both games have been in the pipeline for the last few months, with Flight 338 due to open first on 24 November, and Chernobyl following in January 2020. “The immersive side of the escape room experience is a big pull for me and is part of what we do here,” reveals Dan. “We’ve had a relatively smooth ride with creating the games so far and we’re confident there’s enough to separate them from other escape room challenges out there.”

The setting of Flight 388 is certainly unique: it’s the world’s first escape room challenge to take place on a real plane.

“About a year ago we were looking for something to do with the garden area at Studio 338 for summer and one of the guys here stumbled across a plane for sale,” Dan recalls. “It had previously been converted into a bar and used at festivals, so we bought it,” he says. “It’s pretty big

laura@weekender.co.uk |

– about the size of an EasyJet passenger plane – and still has the seats, overhead lockers and safety information from when it was in service.”

Sam persuaded Dan that they should use the plane for one of their escape room games and so the plan for Flight 338 was born.

The plot is that you and your fellow teammates are a bunch of loveable former crooks who have been living on the straight and narrow for years. When a shadowy figure from your past comes back to haunt you, you’re caught, charged for your old crimes and given a life sentence in prison.

Just as you are being readied for transportation on board prisoner shipping plane, a glimmer of hope presents itself as you learn that you might be able to escape into the sunset afterall, if you can work together to find clues, solve puzzles and overcome the obstacles in front of you.

“It’s part immersive theatre, too,” points out Dan. “You’ll be met at the door, put into boiler suits, hand-cuffed and put on the plane. The best way to summarise it is to say it’s somewhere between Con Air and the A-Team,” he laughs.

The second experience, opening in January 2020, is Chernobyl: 10 Seconds to Midnight, based on the 1986 nuclear disaster that has been front-of-mind since the highprofile TV programme which aired earlier this year.

“I’ve always been fascinated by the unique circumstances surrounding Chernobyl and the fact part of the area is still uninhabitable,” says Dan. “We’ve treated the subject matter quite delicately. We’ve not based it on real people or played on the human tragedy element of it. We’ve made a hypothetical Chernobyl in an alternative universe,” he says.

In the escape room version of Chernobyl, you and your teammates take on the role of the engineers inside the power plant’s control room. Here, you must work against the clock to solve a series of problems and tests to ultimately avert the explosion.

Once up and running, both 75-minute experiences will be

www.weekender.co.uk

open to teams of between two and six players. Dan insists neither game is harder than the other, but Flight 338 is more suitable for families and younger people. “There’s no age limit for either experience, but Chernobyl will be darker and a little bit more intense because of the subject matter. Still, there’s no gruesome characters, just hard code-cracking,” he says. “I think we’ve got the balance right. We won’t be spoon-feeding people but they’ll be able to ask for help if they need it.”

At present, the brothers aren’t planning to open a bar or serve

food on The Riddle Within site at Studio 338. And visitors will also enter via a different entrance to that of the nightclub. “I imagine visitors will want to come here to have a go at the escape room, then talk over the experience in a pub afterwards, rather than an empty 2,000-capacity nightclub,” laughs Dan. That said, the brothers already have some bigger ideas in the pipe-line for next year. Among them are making virtual reality (VR) versions of both games and creating an experience in which lots of participants will be playing the games at once. “Then there

will be more call for an on-site bar and social element,” says Dan. “I don’t want to give too much away, but we’re hoping to eventually create a VR version of Flight 338 where you’ll be in the air and have to jump out of the plane at the end of the experience.”

The Riddle Within escape rooms are based at Studio 338, Boord Street, Greenwich Peninsula, London SE10 0PF. Flight 338 opens on 24 November, Chernobyl: 10 Seconds to Midnight opens in January 2020.

Admission: from £20 per person.

Greenwich kids take on Shakespeare

N

ow in its 19th year, the nation-wide Shakespeare Schools Festival is the largest youth drama festival in the world, involving 30,000 pupils spread across 300 performances each autumn.

We spoke to artistic and executive director of Greenwich Theatre James Haddrell, and Eltham Hill School teacher Joanna Whittington, to find out what’s happening locally, writes Holly O’Mahony…

How did the Shakespeare Schools Festival begin?

Shakespeare Schools Festival (SSF) began in the year 2000 in a small town theatre in Wales, with just 240 pupils from eight different schools taking part.

Since then, the festival has become the world’s largest youth drama project, with up to 30,000 primary, secondary and special educational needs pupils from nearly 1,000 schools taking part every year.

Greenwich Theatre has been a part of SSF since its second year. “We’ve been hosting it for many years but it remains one of our signature youth opportunity events,” says James. “When I joined the theatre in 2001 as press officer, one of my first tasks was promoting the festival,” he recalls.

“We participated in a West End launch with Samuel West. Pupils from Kidbrooke School took part in that launch, and the school [now Halley Academy] has had a strong performing arts focus ever since.”

10 October 30 2019

How do schools get involved?

As well as housing a team of regional coordinations who have build close relationships with the schools involved with the festival over the years, SSF also runs a team dedicated to reaching out to new schools and relaying the benefits of being involved with the festival.

“We are always delighted when new schools join the project,” says James. Schools from the borough of Greenwich that are involved this year include: Boxgrove Primary School with productions of Hamlet and Julius Caesar, and Eltham Hill School for girls, which is also staging Julius Caesar.

Who chooses the plays?

Schools can choose which plays they want to perform from SSF’s collection of specially-adapted scripts: shortened versions of the original texts that remain loyal to Shakespearean English.

In previous years, Macbeth, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Romeo and Juliet and The Tempest have been the most popular.

“Sometimes schools choose plays which fit in with subjects they’re studying at the time,” says James. “If they are long-time participants in the festival, they make their way through the plays on offer.”

The view from inside a classroom…

Julius Caesar might not be the play you’d expect an all-girls secondary school to choose for the festival, but Joanna knows her pupils at Eltham Hill can pull it off.

“Julius Caesar explores themes of betrayal and power which are not limited to the male experience,” she points out. “The play also features some great speeches that I really wanted our girls to have a go at.”

The school worked with the Donmar Warehouse in 2018 on its Shakespeare on screen project, exploring ways to bring the theatre’s trilogy of Shakespeare plays into the classroom. “The trilogy was directed by Phyllida Loydd and starred an all-female cast headed up by Harriet Walters.

Julius Caesar was one of those plays,” explains Joanna. Inspired by this and watching Michelle Terry (now artistic director of Shakespeare’s Globe) play Henry V at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, Joanna felt encouraged to have her class take on the traditionally male roles.

Instead of holding formal auditions, Eltham Hill invited students of all ages to get involved in the production in any way they wanted to – as actors, lighting designers, sound engineers or directors. “I have always felt strongly that the festival is an opportunity to try new things and take a chance,” Joanna says. “The festival is not competitive and we always learn something.”

James agrees. “For the girls to have the opportunity to play Caesar, Brutus and so on is very special,” he says. “I am always excited to see gender-blind casting among children as it can really empower young people to look beyond the roles they think are available for them.

laura@weekender.co.uk |

www.weekender.co.uk

What happens during the rehearsal process?

Each participating school is responsible for holding its own audition and rehearsal process, with a teacher volunteering to take the lead in directing the show. In the case of Eltham Hill, the process begins in early summer. “We started exploring the text back in June and tried to cast the big roles before the summer holidays,” says Joanna. “From September, we rehearse every week and even more frequently in the final weeks.”

Understandably there’s been some bumps along the way. “It’s not an easy play and not massively well suited to an ensemble approach,” admits Joanna. “Telling such a long and complex story while giving the audience a sense of who these characters are in 30 minutes is a huge challenge. The trick is not to panic and trust that the girls will pull it together, which they always do.”

What to expect on the night…

“The format of the festival will be the same as in previous years: an exciting line-up of abbreviated versions of Shakespeare’s plays,” reveals James. “It’s three or four shows per night, which gives the audience a chance to see several different approaches to Shakespeare in a single evening, plus performers of different backgrounds and ages each representing the particular visions of the different schools.”

Why is the festival so important for participants?

Traditionally, staging Shakespeare in schools was praised for its ability to improve literacy and academic attainment.

But SSF have found many more benefits besides. Research into the festival conducted by Arts Council England in 2017 found 93% of students said that they found

laura@weekender.co.uk |

it easier to work in a team, while 90% of teachers said their students were more enthusiastic about learning as a result of taking part in the festival; 86% reported higher academic attainment; and 99% agreed that their students’ confidence had increased.

James is unsurprised by this, pointing out the festival is also an opportunity for students to get a broad introduction into the various theatre-related careers that exist.

“Not only acting, but directing, lighting, sound and design,” he says. “They also emerge from performing with a huge sense of achievement, boosted confidence, and an improved ability to express themselves and communicate with large groups of people.”

Joanna agrees: “Our students gain so much confidence from performing in the festival,” she says. “They learn about commitment and resilience, they make new friends outside of their year group, and they get the amazing experience of working in a professional theatre – which is especially insightful for our technical students,” she adds. “To have the opportunity to work a professional lighting board is an experience we simply cannot provide for them in school.”

And for the audience?

“I hope the audience walk away having seen our amazingly strong, proud girls being completely fearless on that stage,” says Joanna. “I hope the audience realise that it doesn’t matter which gender plays which part, because the characters and the story shine through.”

Shakespeare Schools Festival is on locally at Greenwich Theatre, Crooms Hill, London SE10 8ES. October 29 - November 1, at 7pm. Admission: £10.95/£9 concessions. www.greenwichtheatre.org.uk/events/ shakespeare-schools-festival

Homeward Bound New builds, luxury flats, affordable housing and what’s up your street

Synergy comes to Charlton

see overleaf

T

he UK launch of Fairview New Homes’ Synergy development in Charlton will be on Saturday 2nd November, and the day will be a fantastic opportunity for potential homebuyers to see this brand new collection of homes.

The Enfield-based developer purchased the site in Charlton in December 2016 and began construction in October 2018.

Now offering contemporary one, two and three-bedroom apartments and four-bedroom houses, visitors will also be able to explore a two-bedroom show apartment at the launch event.

Charlton, an upcoming residential hotspot, is set to benefit from significant regeneration investments, and

18 October 30 2019

already has the advantage of excellent schools, historical locations and a variety of parks.

Andy Georgiou, Sales and Marketing Director for Fairview New Homes, said: “We wanted Synergy to fit seamlessly into the Charlton area, and to offer a perfect balance between naturally green surroundings and city life.

“Charlton has a great, established community and it is our aim for Synergy to become a part of that. Synergy will offer landscaped open courtyards, specially designed to create a welcoming community feeling. This will extend into the surrounding area with its many shops, supermarkets, eateries, schools and bars.

“We look forward to welcoming home-hunters to the development

in November, and to assist them in their search for their new home.”

This very well-connected development is a 10-minute walk from Westcombe Park Overground and Charlton Overground. Buyers can be at Canary Wharf in 26 minutes and London Bridge in 27 minutes.

The London Help to Buy scheme is available on all properties at the development.

Under the London Help to Buy scheme, a buyer can secure a home with a 5% deposit and a 55% mortgage. The remaining 40 per cent is then paid off as an equity loan, which remains interest-free for the first five years.

For more information about the development, call 020 8108 7435, or visit www.fairview.co.uk.
