Back by popular demand, byMoonlight’s exciting new production of ‘EAST’ by Steven Berkoff will be running for two nights only at the cornerHOUSE, before a longer run in the new year.

What people have been saying:

“…potty mouth poetry at its best…an amazing production!”

“It is superb…make sure you see it.”

“Fab! Great acting…”

“A superb production…highlight of the festival.”

“The performance of East in the Rose Studio was on the best things I’ve seen in a long time.

“…definitely those who didn’t see it should head down now.”

About the company:

byMoonlight formed in the Summer of 2010 and last year put on two successful productions at the Lion & Unicorn: Gentlemen’s Barber written and directed by Andy Currums (the company’s resident playwright) and Terrorism by the Presnyakov Brothers, directed by Wayne Hughes. The Giant Olive Theatre Company was so impressed that they offered us an extra week’s run of Terrorism. Survivors by Andy Currums premiered at the International Youth Arts Festival in July 2011 to thrilled audiences.

Following their success, byMoonlight are now delighted to present a dynamic take on the modern classic East. byMoonlight provides a forum for young talented actors to explore modern classics with an exciting and energetic approach – using movement, dance, mime and song – thrilling the senses and grabbing the emotions. This highly talented company’s interpretation of East relies heavily on Berkoff’s rhythms, character dynamics and soulful wit – interpolated with music and movement – there is no reserve and no embarrassment!

As result of their sell-out run at the Rose Theatre Studio, byMoonlight performed at the New Wimbledon Theatre Studio which was again a sell-out success. The cornerHOUSE Community Arts Venue gave them another forum to present East, which had them queuing at the door! East is now returning for a second time to the cornerHOUSE for two nights only. Don’t miss out!

A night of 50’s music and vintage stalls…….

“The splendidly eccentric Natalie Ross channels the 1940’s/50’s harmonies of artists like Doris Day and The Andrews Sisters through 21st Century pop sensibilities.”

Her bubbly dizzy-blonde stage persona belies a mastery of modern looping technology – and a grasp of the killer hook that sooner or later is bound to deliver a monster hit.

It all started in 1985. Stella & Pat Carey who at the time ran the Hertford Tavern (now Relate) heard that the former Antelope Motorcycle Club was available for purchase. After an agreement was reached, Careys was borne and operated as a private members club with live music and DJs until 1am.

It was in 1993 when the Carey family took the decision to create something spectacular with a massive investment, which included extending the premises beyond recognition, and creating the venue that stands to this day.

Since the launch, our award-winning venue has hosted DJs, Comedians and Bands that were considered to be way above our capacity. Our wish has always been that Careys is known for the unexpected, and to be proud that customers could call Careys a way of life rather than just another Nightclub.

We hope that you have some good memories from our venue. We always aim to give high standards, have well trained staff, and give the best possible experience with value and safety. We hope that this shows in our efforts.

We owe it to you, our customers, and we cannot thank you enough for your support over the last 25 years. We hope that we can continue to serve & entertain you and yours, for another generation.
