Exciting theatre in SE23


Recommended Posts

I know it's not East Dulwich, but it is just around the corner?


July 6 & 7, 10 & 11.


Knock out one man monologue delivered from the bar, in the pub! ? (what more could you ask for?)


The sydenham arts festival has some pretty serious stuff going on - this one gets my vote - this actress Amelia Lowdell lives in my street and is now directing ? she's just finished a show at the Bush that had 5 star reviews from every national newspaper.

Just in case you were interested in this, I have some more information:


This is the full Press release on this show. I may have undersold it previously.


"A brain-numbing day job. A long regret-filled night out with the office crowd. A late night London epiphany. This brilliant site specific monologue will take you on a journey across London exploring the lies we tell ourselves and each other, and fallout when the truth is revealed"


Amelia Lowdell is directing ?Honest?, as part of the Sydenham Arts festival in South London.


Amelia Lowdell has been an actor for over 15 years. Her Stage debut was at the Royal Court in the play 'Yard Gal? by Rebecca Pritchard, listed this year as one of the V&As top 100 pieces of British theatre of all time.


Most recently Amelia starred in Nick Payne?s Incognito at the Bush theatre, winning universal acclaim. (5 stars from every paper from the Guardian to the Metro!)


Honest is written by DC Moore, and is a 40 minute monologue set and presented in a pub.


DC Moore is a South London resident British Playright and was nominated for the 2010 Olivier Awards in the Outstanding Achievement in an Affiliate Theatre category. He has had shows put on at the National Theatre and the Royal Court.


The extremely talented Richard Kidd is starring in the lead role.


See you there hopefully!


PS. Strong language - recommended for over Grown Ups only!


Honest.

** Very limited space - only 30 seats per show **


All tickets ?8 can be bought online at:


http://sydenhamartsfestival.co.uk/2014/at-a-glance/


or on the door if space available.

I have tickets and am looking forward to it.


However, I have to admit that the choice of venue is, as far as I am concerned, an added attraction - the All Inn One/Foresters Arms' owner managers and their staff place great emphasis on customer service. First rate food, competitively priced wide range of drinks and always a warm welcome.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
