31ST MARCH - 14TH APRIL
THE LAST
NIGHTINGALE
by Dianna Lefas
The Last Nightingale comes to Highgate direct from a
successful New York off-Broadway run. It is appropriate
that the play is being staged Upstairs at the Gatehouse as
The Gatehouse Pub was a well known meeting place for the
Hampstead and Highgate poets. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, a
Highgate resident, would often invite Percy Shelley, Lord
Byron & John Keats to The Gatehouse to indulge in
poetry readings, philosophical conversation and the
occasional glass of stout!
~~~~~~~~~~
John Keats (1795-1821) was a medical student at Guy's
Hospital in London with only one passion burning in his
heart - poetry - until he met 18 year old Fanny Brawne. She
became for him the embodiment of all that was truth and
beauty, a quest that propelled much of his young adult
life. It is not, however, until tragedy strikes that he is
forced to open his heart in favour of this deepening love.
