Until April 1: Stray Dogs

It's been a harsh winter, the people of the town starve while the rich hoard gold and grain. To keep the peace, the powers that be have done what they always do: make ample use of Jacob. He cures the sick, fixes broken bones, sews up wounds. He also tortures those accused of stealing food and chops off their heads.

But Jacob thinks he can keep the peace better if he stops taking heads. All he needs now is to get the town's blessing to heal full time, making his community a better, more humane place. But he's not the only one with plans: his wife, Hilde, and Ana, one of the town's elite, are pushing for more radical solutions that risk tipping the balance in dangerously uncertain ways.

Stray Dogs by Theo Chester is a visceral, epic play that asks how we can create a better future when things are so very awful.

Until April 16: Spring Festival at Battersea Power Station

Two jam-packed weeks of family-friendly activities, workshops, games and even a giant flower trail at Battersea Power Station.

Saturday, April 1: Battersea Choral Society - Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius

Battersea Choral Society is performing Edwards Elgar's magnificent oratorio The Dream of Gerontius 

Widely considered to be one of Elgar's finest works, it sets John Henry Newman's poem to music. It is a thrilling ride through meetings with demons and angels as it relates a devout man's journey after death to the soothing lake of Purgatory and the promise of re-awakening in Glory.

Until April 16: Nicola Bealing - Chapter 2: The Borough

Matt's Gallery is pleased to announce a new exhibition in two parts by Nicola Bealing. Drawing from two connected new bodies of work: Chapter 1 will present works from Dead-man's Fingers and chapter 2, The Borough.

The Borough is a suite of new paintings by Bealing, completed with the support of The Bryan Robertson Award, which Bealing won in 2021. The series takes its title from George Crabbe's long poem of the same name. Published in 1810, it describes the inhabitants & institutions of a fictional coastal village through a series of letters.
