Following their successful Summer tour, the company are now presenting their inaugural Winter Season in churches including St Anne’s. It is an all new production of Macbeth, infused with “wicked music and devilishly good tunes”.

They will be here on Saturday 9 November with performances at 3pm and 7pm. Tickets from shakespearein the squares.co.uk.

The Shakespeare in the Squares performances (sponsored by the Wandsworth Society) were kicked off by a fascinating talk from Sioned Jones, Director of this year’s production of All’s Well That Ends Well. Her talk, titled What’s in a Name? , can be viewed here:

The Society has submitted a response to the process associated with a proposal for a 38 storey building at the southern end of Battersea Bridge. This is a massive concept which contravenes planning policy on building height.

Following the statutory process of consultation and publication of a draft, and further amendments, the latest Local Plan setting out the vision and guide to development of the borough, has been adopted. The full plan, with nearly 500 pages of policies and clear maps, can be viewed here: https://www.wandsworth.gov.uk/localplan

As a change from our regular hall based meetings, John Dawson, aided by representatives of both the South West London and St George’s Mental Health Trust and the housing developer, led a walk around the part-completed Springfield Village development. This is evolving gradually from the site of the former hospital buildings and the old London Golf Centre. The hospital is making a £150m investment which will sit at the centre of the site surrounded by new build housing, converted historic hospital buildings and a 32 acre park which is already open, in part, to the public.
