Theatre In The Square
2024 Season
The celebrated, scandalous
and somewhat confused history of …
Francis Bacon
and the
Ghost Chicken
of Highgate
… as presented by the esteemed players of
Theatre in the Square
1974: Anne and Gilbert are courting in Pond Square when they
are surprised by a glowing, ghostly chicken, distressed and half-plucked.
Fleeing into a nearby pub, they’re surprised to learn from the locals that the
ectoplasmic fowl has been seen before In Highgate. But what is its mysterious
link to long-dead philosopher and father of empiricism, Francis Bacon?
A team from Theatre in the Square began work on this project
in April, researching this astonishing piece of local history. Together they
have devised and written a fast-moving, funny and surprising examination of
this fantastic tale. Join the locals at the Plucky Fowl pub as they argue about
Bacon, chicken, dukes and kings... not to mention a couple of startled ARP
Wardens!

The 24-Hour Play Festival is a project to devise, write, rehearse and perform several 10 minute plays in 24-hours. Starting on the evening of Friday 6 September teams of actors were allocated to a director and writers. Each team discussed ideas for a 10-minute play prompted by a randomly drawn prop and the writer writes the play overnight. The teams reconvene on the morning of Saturday 7 September to rehearse. All the plays are performed on Saturday evening.
