| The Horrific Case of Mr Valdemar (8 November) |
A new adaption of
Edgar Allan Poe. A stage hypnotist is intrigued to know whether
the effects of his art can be experienced beyond the grave.
When he meets Mr Valdemar, a man with only a short while to
live, he imagines he’s found the perfect guinea pig...but
when sex and money intervene, the results are predictably...and
deliciously...horrific!

Greenwich
International Early Music Festival sets up camp at the Old
Royal Naval College this November as the year makes its wary
way towards 2010. Curtals, Crumhorns, Gemshorns and Racketts will abound
and a smattering of Rauschpfeifen is expected.
And if the month
begins with a bang, up at Blackheath Fireworks, it certainly
doesn't go out with a whimper as the Royal Observatory hosts
an Electric Storm in Space on the 28th.
