THE GATEHOUSE - A Short HistoryOf all the inns and pubs inHighgate, The Gatehouse isprobably the oldest. Itsnineteenth century ownersclaimed that there had beena licensed building on thesite since 1337, althoughnothing can be proven aslicensing by justices did notcommence until 1552. Atthat time there were fiveinns licensed in Highgatealthough none of them wereactually named. The earliestmention of The Gatehouse,in the licensing records, is1670 when an Edward Cutlermade an application to theborough of St. Pancras.One curious fact about TheGatehouse was that theborough boundary betweenMiddlesex and London ranthrough the building. Whenthe hall was used as acourtroom, a rope dividedthe sessions to make sureprisoners didn't escape toanother authority's area.Theboundary problem continuedas the names changed, mostrecently with Camden andHaringey sharing thebuilding.1885In 1993 the border wasmoved a few feet to allowone licensing authorityoverall control and TheGatehouse is now the mostnortherly pub in Camden.From its days next to the tollgate, through its use as aMeeting House, TheGatehouse has had achequered history. Byron,Cruikshank and Dickens allused its services and theHighgate Literary andScientific Institution'sinaugural meeting took placein the pub on 16th January1839.At the turn of the twentiethcentury, The Gatehouse wasfamous all over London forits “shilling ordinaries”,gigantic lunches which filledmany a Victorian stomach.In 1905 the building wasrenovated in the mock Tudorstyle that remains today.The auditorium that nowhouses the theatre wasopened in 1895 as “a placesuitable for Balls, Cinderellasand Concerts” and its varioususes have included a MusicHall, a Cinema, MasonicLodge and a venue foramateur dramatics. In thesixties a jazz and folk clubfeatured, amongst others,the Crouch End All Stars and,on one famous occasion, PaulSimon (of Simon andGarfunkel fame).Ovation acquired the leaseon the first floor in 1997 andset about establishing‘Upstairs’ as one of theleading fringe theatres inLondon.The Gatehouse is now a pubin the JD Wetherspoon chainand has established areputation for good value,service and an extensivemenu. They also provide anexcellent range of real alesand feature in the CAMRAGood Pub Guide.It took over a hundred yearsto turn the Highgate Hall (asit was called in 1895) intothe Village's first theatricalauditorium. We hope theVictorian residents wouldhave approved.2013
THE PLAYWRIGHTSIR NOËL PEIRCE COWARD (16 December 1899 – 26 March 1973) Born inTeddington, his parents were Arthur Sabin Coward (1856–1937), a pianosalesman, and Violet Agnes Coward (1863–1954), daughter of Henry GordonVeitch, a captain and surveyor in the Royal Navy. The family were not well offand for a time his mother took in lodgers. Coward attended a danceacademy in London as a child, making his professional stage début at theage of eleven. As a teenager he was introduced into the high society in whichmost of his plays would be set. Coward achieved enduring success as aplaywright, publishing more than 50 plays from his teenage years onwards.Many of his works have remained in the regular theatre repertoire. He alsocomposed hundreds of songs, in addition to well over a dozen musicaltheatre works.Coward's stage and film, acting and directing career spanned six decades,during which he starred in many of his own works. At the outbreak of WorldWar II, Coward volunteered for war work, running the British propagandaoffice in Paris. He also worked with the Secret Service, seeking to use hisinfluence to persuade the American public and government to help Britain.Coward won an Academy Honorary Award in 1943 for his naval film drama,In Which We Serve, and was knighted in 1969. In the 1950s he achieved freshsuccess as a cabaret performer.His plays and songs achieved new popularity in the latter part of thetwentieth century, and his work and style continue to influence popularculture. Coward did not publicly acknowledge his homosexuality, but it wasdiscussed candidly after his death by biographers including Graham Payn,his long-time partner, and in his diaries and letters, published posthumously.
NUDE WITH VIOLINNude with Violin was Coward's last full-length light comedy. Its Londonproduction opened on 8th November 1956 and ran for over a year, with threedifferent leading men, John Gielgud, Michael Wilding and Robert Helpmann,who also played the lead in the subsequent Australian tour.It also played on Broadway, opening in November 1957 at The Belasco Theatrewith a cast headed by Coward himself. The play was written when his starseemed very much to have fallen. He was seen as a figure from the past. Hecommented outspokenly, and unfavourably, on the ‘kitchen sink’ plays thatwere all the rage at that time and his popularity was not improved when hebecame a tax exile. The 'pre-west-end' tour of the first production opened atthe Gaiety Theatre, Dublin in order that he could be there before transferringto The Globe Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue where it ran until February 1958.There is no doubt that Coward shared some of the assumptions of his era, anddramatised them. The characters’ reactions to people of other races are at thevery least patronising to modern ears. But it is a principle of Logos that playsshould be performed 'as written'. We do not propose to patronise Coward orhis time by half-modernising or 'bowdlerising' the dialogue. The play tells of aworld famous artist fèted, but at the mercy of critical whim. At the end of hislife, the great man makes fools of the arts 'experts' and confounds everybody.The parallels are clear.LOGOS were delighted to present, with great success, Coward's firstfull length play I'll Leave it to You in 2009 and are now proud to presenta long overdue revival of this, his last full length comedy.CREDITS - OUR THANKS TOAlan Brodie Representation, The Noel Coward SocietyJohn Cooper of Traffic of the Stage CompanyCarola Stewart, Sharron Conduit, Huggy LeaverRosslyn Hill Unitarian ChapelLOGOS THEATRE COMPANYPatron – Ranjit Bolt OBETrustees: Mark Casserley BA, Tracy Russell, Owen Hinchliffewww.logostheatre.co.uk
