Play your part in Roundhouse story
PLAYWRIGHT Sir Arnold Wesker recalls fearing that the leading man in the first-ever production at Centre 42 in the Roundhouse in the 1960s was determined to sabotage the play – so he told the stage manager to learn the lines in case he had to step in.
Time Out founder and editor Tony Elliot remembers a conference at the Roundhouse in the 1970s when he was harangued by feminists who took offence at a recent edition about pornography. Now the Chalk Farm venue is hosting a show charting the memories of people who went to the Roundhouse – be they workers who recall the days when it was the Gilbey’s gin warehouse, or the Flower Power generation who recall its incarnation as the leading alternative arts and rock venue, or its more recent history when it was derelict and used for illegal acid house parties.
The organisers want your memories for the event, organised by the Look Left Look Right theatre company, who are working through the summer with a group of young people to collate the Roundhouse Story.
As part of the project, the group will gather stories and develop their journalistic skills by researching, interviewing, filming and editing the contributions.The material will then be used by a group of young actors to bring the story to life in a performance at the Roundhouse on August 23.
