theatre

A heart of darkness explored on stage

Barely a month after their puppet-fuelled take on Mary Shelley’s gothic novel Frankenstein played at Greenwich Theatre, touring theatre company Blackeyed Theatre is back at the venue with another classic from the genre: Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1886 novella The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde. Nick Lane, who also penned the company’s Frankenstein rewrite, is behind the adaptation, which was due to run with the current cast back in 2020 before the pandemic happened. Two years on and the tour is finally underway. Holly O’Mahony speaks to actor Blake Kubena, who plays both Jekyll and Hyde in the show, to find out more…

4 April 20 2022

Holly O’Mahony. Firstly, can you tell us a bit about your background as a performer? How did you get into acting and subsequently working with Blackeyed Theatre?

Case of Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde back in 2017/18, but with a different cast. Is there a certain amount of pressure attached to joining a show with a pre-existing reputation?

Blake Kubena: Well, I've acted since I was a teenager back in Texas. I could never really decide what I wanted to be in life, so pretending to be all sorts of other people for relatively short periods of time seemed like an attractive way to make a living.

This project for Blackeyed Theatre is actually my first tour focused on the UK, and I'm very much enjoying getting to know the rest of the country outside of London.

BK: It's an interesting task to join a production with a previous life.

You want to honour the original work while bringing your own twist to it. Thankfully, this is a company that has been incredibly welcoming and supportive to me and fully open to playing with what I have to bring to the table.

HOM: As a Texan, how did you come to live and work in the UK in the first place?

BK: I'm a bit of a nomad and love living in many different places.

London was far away and full of actors, so I was bound to find myself here sooner or later. I arrived in 2013 to do an MA at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, and have stuck around ever since.

HOM: The company staged the same production of The Strange

HOM: While a fantasy novel, there are timeless truths in the story of Jekyll and Hyde that ring true.

Earlier this year, a self-made billionaire Elizabeth Holmes went on trial in the US for allegedly producing and selling blood tests that didn’t work. Have you reflected on any contemporary parallels while rehearsing the show?

BK: Oh, certainly! How can you not when there's such a rich selection of Hydes running around at the moment? One was living in the White House when we started rehearsals; plenty of inspiration there! I somewhat based Hyde's

“I think anyone who's ever woken up with regret for some out-ofcharacter act on a night out can relate to this on some level” – Blake Kubena on playing Jekyll and Hyde at Greenwich Theatre editorial@weekender.co.uk

www.weekender.co.uk

theatre attitude towards the physically disabled Jekyll on Trump's shocking mockery of Serge Kovaleski, the New York Times reporter with arthrogryposis. I hadn't thought about Elizabeth Holmes, though.

She was a charismatic fraud, but I don't see Jekyll this way.

His hubris isn't so much of the charlatan variety. If we're thinking of Silicon Valley, he's more like Zuckerberg, a morally ambiguous geek who releases a powerful new technology into the world with unpredictable consequences.

HOM: Great comparison! So, who do you prefer playing, Jekyll or Hyde?

BK: It's hard to say because I can't really imagine one without the other.

Same mind and body, one sober and one under the influence. Hyde would love to silence the tempering voice of Jekyll in the back of his head when he's committing some horrible act, and Jekyll desperately wants to believe that he is somehow separate from Hyde and his crimes, but they simply cannot shake each other. Each one is frequently reminded in the play that the other 'is you’. I think anyone who's ever woken up with regret for some out-of-character act on a night out can relate to this on some level.

HOM. Quite… as for storytelling mediums, Blackeyed Theatre’s recent production of Frankenstein was brought to life with puppets. Are there any puppets in Jekyll and Hyde?

F.A.A.

BK: No puppets in this one I'm afraid, but we do make some fun use of lighting and shadows to illustrate the splitting of Jekyll's consciousness.

There's also a brilliant soundscape, created by our composer Tristan Parkes, which sets the scene for several stylised movement sequences of violence, transformation and other shady goings-on in the streets of Victorian London.

HOM: We’ll let you off on the puppets, but what are the stand-out features of your production? What sets it apart from other versions audiences might have seen before?

BK: In this case, our brilliant directorplaywright Nick Lane [who also wrote the company’s latest take on Frankenstein] has brought a question central to his own personal experiences of living with a damaged spine to the fore: if there was a potion that would take away your physical impairment, but make you cruel and horrible, would you take it?

If so, for how long? In our version, Jekyll struggles with many physical disabilities and uses Hyde as a vehicle to escape from them. He says yes to the potion and incurs many disastrous consequences. There is also the addition of a very complex

F A ALBIN & SONS

female character who struggles with her own desires to break free from different types of constraints.

She forms a bit of a love triangle between Jekyll/Hyde and Jekyll's best friend, Hastings Lanyon.

HOM: Lastly, is there a message or idea you hope audiences take away from seeing the show live?

BK: I think one of the main things that makes the story of Jekyll and Hyde so compelling is that it invites us to imagine what our own Hydes are like; to have a good look at our dark sides, our shadows – we

all have them – and figuring out how to live in balance with them is such an important part of being human. There can be something disturbingly attractive about a Hyde, and I hope we can leave audiences pondering why that is.

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde is showing at Greenwich Theatre, Crooms Hill, London SE10 8ES. April 19 - 23, 7:30pm with additional 2:30pm matinees on Thursday and Saturday. Admission: £21. www.greenwichtheatre. org.uk/events/the-strangecase-of-dr-jekyll-mr-hyde

Greenwich Dance makes Thamesmead its home Holly O’Mahony: What made you choose to make Thamesmead the new headquarters of Greenwich Dance and how long has this move been in the pipeline?

Melanie Precious: Since I started as CEO at Greenwich Dance my vision for the organisation has always been to move away from thinking of ourselves as ‘building based’ and instead set up our business across the borough and beyond, animating places and spaces across south-east London and investing in the existing community facilities.

Living and working through the pandemic made us realise we could think of our office operation in exactly that way, through a hybrid working arrangement with the team where we work from home, on site and in the office, and no longer need to ‘man a building’.

HOM: But the NEST Community Building and Library will now be your base, right?

MP: Yes. I attended a workshop [there] and had a lightbulb moment and thought, this is where we should be. Or at least, this is where our office should be. We will be everywhere, but this is a good place to set up our desks and use as a hub when we want and need to come together.

6 April 20 2022

Local dance organisation and pillar of the cultural community Greenwich Dance is upping sticks and moving its offices from its base at Charlton House to The NEST Community Building and Library, a purpose-built arts centre in Cygnet Square, Southmere. The move, which is scheduled to take place on April 29, is part of the organisation’s plans to embrace a hybrid way of working, following the success of its office-less activity during the pandemic. Greenwich Dance has a reputation for bringing professional dancers and dance classes to far-out pockets of the borough and the move won’t affect this: the organisation will continue to have a presence in all 17 wards of the Royal Borough of Greenwich, as well as in Bexley, its new borough of residence.

Holly O’Mahony speaks to Melanie Precious, CEO of Greenwich Dance, to find out more…

HOM: I hear the new site is pretty picturesque too…

MP: The team is so excited about the lakeside view and the professional feel of the new space. But I think what we are most excited about is to get to know a new community.

Thamesmead is so vibrant, there are so many artists based there already.

We can’t wait to meet them and find out how we can support the area to grow and thrive collaboratively. It will also be super easy for people to visit us once Crossrail opens, which is very exciting. Our classes and activities will still be borough-wide though, and some will remain at Charlton House too which I’m thrilled about as it is still a home to us in many ways.

HOM: Greenwich Dance has hubs throughout the Borough of Greenwich, which allows those who might otherwise struggle with

access to enjoy and participate with your output. How will the new centralised hub in Thamesmead affect those further out?

MP: This space is actually in Bexley and I hope that will mean that people in the Borough of Bexley will get to know us. We are constantly fundraising for new activity budgets to do more work in Greenwich and outside of it, so whilst this move is just about our office and not our work, Thamesmead has always been and will stay one of the hubs we prioritise.

I hope it will mean that more people get to know about us and our work through the process of networking and familiarising ourselves with the area and residents there.

HOM: Practically speaking, how tricky is it to move a dance organisation from one venue to another?

MP: The main hurdle is that we are so phenomenally busy! The team has loads of activities on, all of them exciting, and I’m furiously fundraising which seems to be just the nature of my job. We are downsizing, so we have had to do a massive clear out. We are a small team, so everyone has gotten stuck in. There was one night where I was smashing old filing cabinets with a hammer and slinging them into a skip. The CEO malarkey is not glamorous, you know!

HOM: In my experience, the best leaders are the ones who get stuck in with the team! Before I let you get on, can you tell us anything about the first projects Greenwich Dance will be delivering from its new Thamesmead base?

MP: We have an exciting summer with tons of activity coming up. We

editorial@weekender.co.uk

have four lindy hop social nights at venues across the borough which are a chance to learn a few moves with our expert dance artists before dancing the night away.

We are just about to start work on an exciting project with Greenwich Park, which we will be filling with dance performances, tai chi and family heritage story walks.

Series five of our podcast is to be released on International Dance Day (April 29) and we are waiting on the outcome of a bid to continue our Dance for Wellbeing work, which has been particularly joyous as we have been working with older people across the borough in activities designed to bring people back together to nurture themselves, physically and mentally, after the trauma of lockdowns.

Our NRgDance youth programme is coming out of the schools which have hosted it over the past two years and will be open for everyone once again, with activities across the borough including in Thamesmead. Plus, we have our This Girl Can class in nearby Abbey Wood funded until summer – so join now while you can!

FootballvTransphobia week of action - an interview with Julia

This is the fourth season that the FootballvTransphobia campaign has taken place with football clubs, fans and other football stakeholders getting involved.

The annual FootballvTransphobia week of action took place recently, finishing on Trans Day of Visibility on Thursday 31 March. FootballvTransphobia is a week-long campaign run

by FootballvHomophobia and Pride Sports with the aim on raising awareness on trans inclusion and tackling transphobia in the game.

As part of this year’s campaign, we spoke to Charlton Athletic supporter Julia, a striker for LGBTQ+ inclusive Charlton Invicta FC and committee member for the Proud Valiants, about her experiences, being part of the Charlton family and the importance of the week of action and Trans Day of Visibility.

Charlton were the first club in the UK to formally affiliate a LGBTQ+ inclusive team – Charlton Invicta FC

8 April 20 2022

“As an LGBT+ woman who's come back into football recently, Trans

Day of Visibility reminds us that the simple joys that many of us take for granted still need to be fought for. For many trans people, finding a welcoming place in the stands to support your team or a pitch where you can play football without prejudice is still a long way away.

“But there are people in football who want to change that, and Charlton Athletic were there for me when I wanted to enjoy football again – as a supporter and as a player. I joined the Proud Valiants back in 2019 after moving to South East London, who have welcomed me as one of their own and brought me many fond memories, including many Charlton wins, joining the committee, and coming onto the pitch for the annual Football vs. Homophobia match.

“It’s also how I found out about Charlton Invicta, Charlton Athletic Community Trust’s LGBTQ+ inclusive and affiliated football team. I hadn’t played football since moving to London as I didn’t know where I’d feel editorial@weekender.co.uk

comfortable, but that wasn’t a concern after I went to my first training session in January 2020. Since then, I’ve become fitter, improved my football, and made friends – with some wonderful highlights like scoring a brace against Millwall Pride at Sparrows Lane in November 2021 and winning the Invicta Most Improved Player award for 2020/21 at the end of season awards.

“The Club has opened up these experiences and memories for me, and everyone should have the opportunity to take part without fear or prejudice.

We need to continue the good work and make ourselves known on Trans Day of Visibility so that trans people know there is somewhere that will welcome them – and we should support all trans people who aren’t yet able to be visible and let them know that we care especially for them too.”

History

Poker-wielding drunks and a battle with a Swiss tar works

Mary Mills So once again I am continuing down the Lewisham bank of Deptford creek and looking at its wharves site by site. Last week I finished at Normandy Wharf where there was an ‘artificial manure works’ – and there will be a lot more of them to come.

of Fish and Lime Streets. However in 1873 the Metropolitan Board of Works changed the names of all these streets and they became Alvar Street, Benmore Street and Dugald Street, with Hamar Place joining the ends of Benmore and Dugald Street. I have no idea where these names came from or why they were changed.

Last week I had a bit of a grumble about the way that road names in this area changed all the time in the 19th Century and I’m about to have a bit more of a grumble because it is really difficult to know where something is a lot of the time, and so I hope I don’t get it wrong. The bit of road which runs parallel with the Creek along the wharves I am looking at is now ‘Creekside’ – but earlier part of it was ‘Ravensbourne Street’ and later, for some time it was ‘Knott Street’ and then ‘Copperas Street’. Some maps are different to other maps of the same area.

Last week I looked at ‘Thomas Street’ which I said ran between Baltic and Normandy Wharves but it’s not shown on some OS maps or the insurance plans, although people seem to be living there.

I rather suspect that these streets housed the poorest of the poor with a large immigrant population. We have already seen that Thomas Street was seen as an area where Irish people lived and other accounts say that there were lots of Italians. The Booth Survey of 1899 grades streets with various colours according to the levels of poverty and these streets are coloured dark blue which is second to bottom - the actual worst is black. Booth mentions the entrance to the asphalt works in Alvar Street and I will get to that in a moment.

In other streets he noted litter, dirty ragged children and a recent murder.

The streets nearest the wharf were narrow with walls between them and the Creek itself and they housed costermongers and street sellers.

He saw signs of great and continued neglect. Newspaper records show the usual stories of poverty, drunken fights and petty theft.

This week I wanted to look at Sun Wharf, which seems to have been the area covered by the Cockpit Arts building - and I’ll come back that later. In the 19th Century it was much more complicated because there were a series of small roads which ran from what was then Knott Street down towards the Creek.

You can still see where these roads were today, although Thomas Street which I mentioned last week has

The first road we come to was Sun Street which ran between Normandy and Sun Wharves and was later called Alvar Street. Look for anything about the street in the press and there are many cases, like that in the theft of two pieces of rope for which two residents of Alvar Street went to prison for seven days; or how in 1904 a John Harris got three days in prison for being drunk in Deptford Broadway; and

completely gone. If you walk down the frontage of the Cockpit Arts building there are breaks which are where these old roads were.

This housing was built largely in the early 1850s and there are many

advertisements in the press of the day for buying up blocks of them so that the purchaser could rent them out and make money from the rent – although we saw last week what could happen and that in Thomas Street Mr. Brown managed

to avoid ever paying any rent at all. To complicate things even further these roads were originally called Lime Street, Sun Street and Fish Street.

There was a road running parallel with the Creek called Wharf Place which joined up the Creekside ends editorial@weekender.co.uk

www.weekender.co.uk

History writing about the wharves on the Greenwich bank and the other Sun Wharf nearer to Deptford Bridge which I wrote about in January, They are so easily confused.

I think that before the early 1860s that there was a pottery on Sun Wharf run by one Parry family. And (this is another major moan) I am still trying to get hold of an article written in 1989 about Deptford potteries.

However William Parry had a pottery in Copperas Lane, Church Street which sounds about right. He was making sewer pipes, chimney pots, flower pots, corrugated tiles – all the ‘redware’ stuff which we all know about and see and don’t think of as ‘pottery’ like all those nice jugs and mugs which we collect. This pottery closed in the early 1860s and I don’t know what happened there over the next ten years or so. I think it might have been something quite exciting but it is someone else’s research and I will report on it in due course.

As I noted above Alvar Street led to an entrance to the asphalt works and this was the works, and eventually the head office of the well known Val de Travers Company. Now back in January – and this is an apology not a moan - when I was writing about Deptford Bridge I said that there was a court case about that the Val de Travers asphalt works which was causing a nuisance. The newspaper report said that the site was between Deptford Bridge and the river Ravensbourne but I think now that that was a mistake and that the site which caused the problems was here at Sun Wharf - down river of the Railway Bridge rather than Deptford Bridge. In 1871 which is the date on which the complaint of nuisance was made is the same year that Val de Travers took on Sun Wharf. They were to remain there for many years – and I although it is now described ‘a dormant company’ I note on various company information websites that the company accounts are right up to date as of three months ago, and there must be a reason for that.

Val de Travers itself is a remote Swiss valley near the French frontier and there is a rock mine there which is used for asphalt. When I was researching the early gas industry I noted a number of companies which were based on the Isle of Dogs and they had the names of Swiss valleys where Asphalt is to be found. I was also aware that these companies were buying vast amounts of gasworks tar and I guessed that they were using this to make their road making and other products. I have no reason to believe that the Val de Travers company was doing this and there seems to be every indication that they drew their asphalt from mines in France, Sicily and Germany and it was this which was processed at Sun Wharf to make road making materials but also other things like roofing, damp course materials, flooring and much else. There is a great deal of information about the company and its products on the net.

Benmore street

also how Robertson was remanded in custody for breaking his mother’s jaw. There are also cases involving young people like William Palmer age 14 who got seven days inside for stealing pins and, most tragically, in editorial@weekender.co.uk

1929 a small child of two years old who was run over by a motor lorry belonging to Val de Travers - she had run under the lorry and her right foot and right hand were so badly crushed they had to be amputated. www.weekender.co.uk

So we come to Sun Wharf. I am sorry to mention this again but there is even more confusion over names.

There were three Sun Wharves in this area: one was New Sun Wharf which I covered last July when I was

Their presence in Deptford was greeted with a great deal of enthusiasm and before they had been open a year the local authority was bringing a case against them for nuisance. They said they had 11 open cauldrons each 10 to 12 feet in length and 6 feet in width some of which was connected to a chimney shaft

which was at a lower height than the neighbouring houses. The cauldrons were heated by coal in open furnaces and gave off offensive thick white vapour. Mr. Pink, the local Medical Officer, and some local doctors gave evidence – one doctor saying that he had to visit some patients several times a day because of the odour from the works and how this was causing nausea and sickness among the strong and healthy. Many witnesses were called all saying how awful it was and Val de Travers ‘should be removed out of the district‘ and away from an area where the works was surrounded by houses on all sides.

What is remarkable about this is that they should complain so vociferously about a tar works while more or less ignoring the chemical works and four or five ‘artificial manure’ works which must have stunk to high heaven – but!

Soon after the court case Val de Travers made changes to the way things were done in the works and the chimney was greatly enlarged and heightened to become a feature of the district. They were to stay there a long time and with a huge lorry fleet. By the late 1960s they were in some trouble and the Sun Wharf headquarters was said to be a financial drag on the company. It took nearly a year to sell it but eventually Val de Travers moved out when the site was sold in 1972. I don’t know who bought it but rather suspect it might have been Lewisham council.

I don’t know if the big office block which is now the headquarters of Cockpit Arts - and about to be redeveloped - dates from Val de Travers’ day and if it is their old head office building. It looks like it could be. Before Cockpit moved in it was known as Drake House at one time and used as a small business centre owned by Lewisham Council. On the wall is a huge mural which very much dominates the street and which dates from 1989. It is called ‘Love over Gold’ and painted by Gary Drostle. working with local schools and I understand it has recently been renovated which is really good. It’s terrific.

We need to return to the housing which was once on most of the landward side of the site. The middle road was Benmore Street and at the end Dugald Street with Hamar Place linking them together at the Creek side of the wharf. I’m afraid that it is still an area dominated by violence and drink – and ultimately terrible poverty.

So - here are the Hudson family men drunk and wielding pokers – one of whom, known locally as ‘The Benmore Bully’, hit one of the wives until she fell, knocking her teeth out with a poker; and here we have three lads in their teens sent down for 14 days for gambling with a ha’penny in the street; and here we have a woman in a road accident giving birth to a stillborn child whose husband gives evidence that they’ve been living on a pound a week but are sometimes given a potato; and here we have three lads of 10 and 11 bound over and threatened with a ‘good thrashing ‘ for stealing three eggs. There are hundreds of like cases in the local papers – so I won’t go on.

Next we will come to Kent Wharf and some really terrible smells.
