Closing this weekend, South Korean artist JeeYoung Lee’s NOW Gallery installation is a chance to feel a mix of whimsy and nostalgia as you stand amid a sea of autumnal leaves floating through the air, carrying a giant origami ship. The installation is a physical embodiment of JeeYoung’s reminiscing about the past and her dreams for the future, shown through themes of travel and nature. There’s no pressure to ‘understand’ the artist’s intention here, instead, JeeYoung hopes her work ignites your own memories.

Windrush stories
While the Windrush scandal of 2018 is no longer in the headlines, it’s important the British citizens who nearly lost the right to call the country they’ve helped build their home are not forgotten. Local charity Global Fusion Music & Arts is presenting a night of live music, poetry and footage from key moments in the history of the Windrush Generation at Greenwich Theatre. Among the performers at ‘Voices From Windrush’ is writer, actor, singer and poet Antonette Clarke-Akalanne, who was originally invited to the UK by British Politician Enoch Powell, and who performed her poem ‘Windrush’ at the Houses of Parliament in 2018. Local singer-songwriter Phiyah Stone and a cast of professional actors are also taking to the stage.

Comedy on Cutty Sark
Hop on board the giggling ship Cutty Sark this Saturday to catch the return of its monthly comedy night. Headlining is So You Think You’re Funny finalist Esther Manito, while supporting sets come from rising names on the circuit, Paddy Young and Alexandra Haddow. Leave any stern thoughts with the ship’s stern up on deck, and take your sense of humour down to the lower deck’s Michael Edwards Studio Theatre, where an evening of high-spirited laughter awaits.
“The Shipwright’s Palace is more humble than it sounds, but it’s a splendid building. It’s got a walled garden [with] footpaths across it,” says Melly, describing the overall aesthetic of the venue as “shabby chic”. “We’ve created an auditorium in the garden with a view overlooking the Thames,” she reveals, “We wanted to keep the sonography quite
The intriguing premise of The Gretchen Question sees three worlds collide, or rather melt together, on stage.
Eighteenth-century Gretchen witnesses the Royal Society returning from a polar expedition in possession of a magic oyster, promising unlimited wealth on the eve of the Industrial Revolution. Fast-forward to the present day, and Maisie is an influencer setting out to livestream from the Arctic as part of a questionable brand
The 60-year-old’s CV would read like a bucket list of achievements to many working in her field. In late 2019, she directed April De Angelis’ eagerly-anticipated adaptation of Elena Ferrante’s My Brilliant Friend at the National Theatre, and yet, “I feel like I’m still an emerging director!,” she jokes when we speak. Melly started out as a choreographer and worked as a visual artist too before becoming more of a maker-deviser in theatre and eventually a director. Movement and a strong visual aesthetic remain key components of the work she produces.
Melly actually began working on The Gretchen Question six years ago, but for various reasons, the play about ice was put on ice. Resurrecting it in 2022, the premise feels all the more pertinent to the director and her team, what with the climate crisis more front-of-mind than ever. The finished
Ever since Melly and Fuel began brainstorming the piece, creating something to do with ice was at the crux. “But once you start investigating ice, it becomes about climate change,” muses the director. “We became really interested in the Enlightenment period and the pursuit of knowledge in the name of progress, and what we mean by progress.”
The team knew the production would be most effective as a site-specific piece, and were thrilled to find a home to fully realise its potential at the Shipwright theatre – which in its past life was one of the most important shipbuilding yards in the world, but today, despite its current usage as a performing arts venue, is under the watchful eye of developers.
Melly brought on board her frequent collaborator, the writer, director, composer and musician Max Barton, whose musical partnership with Jethro Cooke, which goes by the name Second Body, forms the soundscape of the piece. Also on board is designer E. M. Parry and a performing body of eight actors.
While The Gretchen Question has been moulded to the landscape of the Shipwright, Melly hopes to mount further iterations of the production elsewhere in the future – potentially even abroad. “It’s totally site-specific and site-responsive, [and] it’s such an experimental piece,” she reflects. “We’d love to develop it [and] find other areas we could place it in.” For now, though, it’s all about presenting the piece to the borough which Melly and many of her cast and creatives call home. “We’re so keen to get a local audience…there are so many artists in Lewisham. We want to do anything we can to support these marginalised boroughs.”
As for her audience, Melly hopes they take away “a shared tenderness for themselves and the world they live in”. She adds: “The last thing I want this to be is didactic. We’re trying to find lightness and humour as well as emotional depth and truth… we want people to be entertained and excited and thrilled, and have a proper experience they can take away with them [to] remember and think about.”
The Gretchen Question is running at the Shipwright theatre, Master Shipwright’s House, Watergate Street, Deptford, SE8 3JF. September 22 - October 2, 8pm.

minimal [to] allow [in sounds of] the night sky and traffic of the Thames. I hope it doesn’t rain!,” she laughs.
Unlike many creatives who, after receiving acclaim, work exclusively in venues and on productions of similar esteem, Melly prioritises projects she’s passionate about. Which is why she’s working in her home borough of Lewisham and staging The Gretchen Question at a ‘hidden gem’ venue in Deptford, despite having spent early summer directing a criticallyacclaimed production of The Wreckers at Glyndebourne Festival Opera.

words, the “naming, claiming, stamping on, penetrating, exhausting and exploiting” of those British explorers and today’s desperation to become an influencer for the sake of being famous, or producing art primarily as a commodity. “It’s a gentle antidote to the nihilism that’s invading our lives at the moment,” she laughs.
“This is a love letter, or rather a farewell letter, to ice,” says theatremaker Melly Still, co-writer and director of The Gretchen Question, a new climate-focused, site-specific theatre show, running on an open-air stage overlooking the Thames at the Shipwright theatre in Deptford. It’s the latest in a slew of daring, out-ofthe-ordinary works running as part of Lewisham’s year as London Borough of Culture. Spanning centuries and the vast geographical distance between the Arctic and London, the production asks audiences to contemplate the history of climate change and how it affects our future, writes Holly O’Mahony…
“The stories intermingle,” reveals Melly. “The piece is a bit like ice melting… [with] stories melting into each other.”

what we do theatrical. That means celebrating the fact we’re telling a story live on stage and not apologising for it. The Valley Of Fear is an epic story, spanning years and continents, and by embracing theatrical storytelling we have licence to be really creative. It’s a physical production which includes some fantastic action sequences, and as is typical of our shows, there’s live music too. The script, adapted by Nick Lane, relishes in the relationship between Holmes and Watson.
AM: Of Conan Doyle’s four Holmes novels, The Valley of Fear is the least well-known, but it’s a cracking story that stretches from Baker Street in London to the Pennsylvanian Vermissa Valley, packed with brilliant characters and lots of brilliant deductions.

“Sherlock Holmes is a superhero, albeit in a Victorian world. His ‘powers of observation and deduction’ are his superpowers. And just like all of the best superheroes in culture, he’s a superhero we all want to emulate,” says Adrian McDougall, artistic director of Blackeyed Theatre. He’s been sitting on his production of The Valley Of Fear, an adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s final Sherlock Holmes novel, for a few years now, and is thrilled to see it finally come to fruition – crucially, not as a pastiche, but as a straight up thriller. With the show coming to Greenwich Theatre this week as part of a six-month national tour, Holly O’Mahony speaks to Adrian McDougall to find out what audiences can expect…
Adrian McDougall: I think it’s fair to call it gothic; it’s dark and foreboding, and at the heart of the story’s mystery is the shadowy figure of an international criminal mastermind. We previously commissioned an adaptation of the second Sherlock Holmes novel The Sign Of Four in 2018. As a big fan of Holmes, I’ve always been interested in bringing him to the stage and telling his stories in a really theatrical way. Holmes plays a massive part in our popular culture, but on stage he is

it’s set. There’s something about those foggy London streets that’s naturally very gothic and macabre, but also really exciting. The other key ingredient to the work’s popularity is the relationship between Holmes and Watson. Like any double-act, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. But the fantastic thing about Conan Doyle’s creations is that they are both flawed. The dependence, symbiosis

Your Stance is a charity organisation who teach life support skills and emergency trauma training to young people.
CACT joined up with the Rob Knox Foundation, run by Rob’s parents Sally and Colin, to set up the SVRL campaign against knife and gun crime aiming to raise awareness in the community about the devastating impact of street violence.
CACT staff members and participants will continue to have training sessions with Your Stance over the coming weeks. These sessions go hand-in-hand with preventative crime reduction work, for example CACT’s interactive County Lines & Exploitation workshop which teaches young people about the dangers of getting involved in county lines operations. This has been delivered to over 6000 young people since September 2021.
Sian added: “I think it’s something that is very important and the hands-on approach in terms of teaching the people that came in so you understand what’s happening in those situations, I thought, was really good and gave them an

This is offered to young people who have shown signs of negative behaviour, for example carrying a knife or being gang affiliated, and aims to help them make positive life choices.

Back up the line between the Blackheath Tunnel and the junction to Charlton Station was the
These days the line is used by a number of firms who are based at Angerstein Wharf, at the end of Horn Lane, or nearby. They are almost all dealing in aggregate, some of which comes in to the wharf by boat. I have been told that they are all very busy and are looking to expand. Some of the trains which use the wharf take very, very circuitous routes to get
to the line and there are specialist web sites which can be followed giving their timetables. I am also told that goods transport by rail is very busy but hardly mentioned in reports on our railways.
I know that I have written about the Angerstein railway line in four of my previous books and many, many articles - but I do feel I need to say something new here – and I will try to make it interesting. If I am going to write about Charlton industry a good place to start is all the works which were joined up to the national railway system via the Angerstein Railway. So I will try to concentrate on them, but, first, an update and some crucial points.
The Angerstein Railway
Gas Co railway wagons Angerstein Wharf John Angerstein
There is a dividing line between Greenwich and Charlton on the riverside – last week I looked at the roads and banks there – now it’s the turn of the Angerstein railway
The Angerstein Railway was built in 1851 on land belonging to the Angerstein family and leased to the South Eastern Railway from the start. It has always been a goods only line serving riverside wharves. (Except, that is, very rarely there are special trains for train spotters).
The Angerstein family came to Greenwich when John Julius Angerstein built the house, Woodlands in 1774. It’s now in use by the Steiner School. John Julius was a City financier with fairly mysterious roots. He has been the subject of considerable scrutiny lately because
Close up on the east side of the line and connected to it was the London County Council’s, Central Tram Repair Depot. Mr. Fell was its general manager and it was in what is still Felltram Way. People may remember it as the ‘Airfix building’ – when, after the trams had gone, A I R F I X was written in gigantic letters on the line of north lights. Next to them was G.A.Harvey’s Greenwich Metal Works on the site of the new fire station in Woolwich Road. They basically made
it. So – if you think rail access to the Dome would have been a good idea, you know now why it doesn’t exist. Many transport enthusiasts campaigned for it to be upgraded and remain - but no, it went.
This western extension to the line was basically built for East Greenwich Gas Works but did not access the Angerstein line until 1903. This very large gas works had a large and complex internal rail system –which is described in great detail in an article by Malcolm Millichip. (East Greenwich Gas Works Railway. Railway Byelines 11/1998). On the
tenth page of this ten page article he finally devotes a short paragraph to the connection of the works’ railway system to the Angerstein line and the outside world. In fact, anecdotally, it seems likely that the gas works made little use of this rail link since all coal was delivered by specialist collier ships and tar and other by products often left by road. It seems only to have been used for occasional rolling stock carrying oil or tar.

Before it reached the gas works it passed the site of the Redpath Brown B Riverside Steel Works - which was on the site between The Pilot and the Millennium Village. I have seen and heard a lot of people say

holes – and I will get to them later too.
Redpath’s used the railway – and I don’t disbelieve them - but there is no map which shows an interchange, and this includes a works plan given to me by an ex manager.
The line to the gas works ran roughly parallel to what is now West Parkside. It was on an embankment and there was a bridge over the road close to The Pilot pub. It was still there in 1998 when the Dome was planned although it has been unused for many years. The builders of the Dome used it as a special road to get lorries in and out of their site while it was being built – and then demolished

Hopefully we will find other industries rather more enthusiastic about a rail link than South Met (later South Eastern) gas.
I have said I was going to talk about Charlton – and that the railway is a boundary between it and Greenwich to the west. Most of the rail links via Angerstein went to the east – but one line went west towards Greenwich – to the gas works – and I thought it only fair to mention that too.
