12 COVER FEATURE The Treason Show’s Mark Brailsford celebrates ten years of Brighton’s satirical sketch show with an Election Special
If anyone can appreciate a well hung parliament it’s The Treason Show’s Mark Brailsford. For 10 years, our cover star has been letting it all hang out as director (and ‘naked gag’ man) of Brighton’s political sketch night. And this week he’ll be ensuring parliament is not only hung but satirically drawn and quartered with The Treason Show’s Election Special. This issue we introduce new monthly sports columnist Joe Addison, who recently ran both the Brighton and London marathons just one week apart. Without any shoes on. 50 years since shoe-free Ethiopian marathon runner Abebe Bikila took Olympic gold, barefoot running is attracting more and more converts. Find out more (and dodge the dead rats) in Sport. One of the most interesting aspects of barefoot running is the chance it affords to experience the city in a new way. Familiar streets suddenly reveal new characteristics. Whether the road surface is smooth or knobbly suddenly becomes much more important than the view. Before I Sleep, dreamthinkspeak’s commission for the Brighton Festival at the old-co op on London Road, is also about seeing old spaces in news ways. You can read our five-star verdict on this extraordinary ‘show’ in Reviews. The element of surprise is crucial, so we’re considering setting up a support group for the duration of Before I Sleep’s run for audience members bursting to compare their experiences. Did you find the **** in the ********? Did you *** ** a ***** in the ****? Us too, us too! Remember, throughout May you can read the latest reviews online every morning.

SOCIAL DIARY
Latest diary Tim Richardson snaps the launches of Brighton Festival Fringe and Geisha Arts Le street c’est freak The Brighton Festival Fringe opened with a big bang as crowds gathered outside the Unitarian Church on New Road at the beginning of the May bank holiday weekend for an evening of free music, physical theatre, animation, dance and comedy. Karavan Ensemble took viewers on an adventure into the realms of human nature, followed by Monsters Build Mean Robots and UK festival heavyweights, King Porter Stomp, with a taste of their new high energy summer tunes that got everybody dancing.

Cutting edge Arguably one of the most exciting exhibition and creative spaces to hit Brighton’s shores, the artist-led Geisha Arts opened at Madame Geisha on Thursday 29 April with a high profile launch featuring work by some of the UK’s most celebrated and collectable art makers including Goldie, Matt Small, Zac Walsh and Henrijs Preiss. The event was in support of the charity International Childcare Trust, which improves the lives of some of the world’s most vulnerable children. Dragon’s Don’t Do Taekwondo

days of headlines with Phil Mills
Sussex’s new MPs face tough economic times, but the city’s art scene is blooming
C
ongratulations to our newly elected Sussex MPs and good luck to them – they’re going to need it. My abiding memory from the election campaign wasn't the TV leader debates or Brown’s ‘bigot’ gaffe – it was the BBC’s Question Time and panelists describing the size of the national debt. Janet Street-Porter reported Radio 4’s version: “£90,000 per household” and the Tories' Liam Fox came up with: “We have borrowed one trillion pounds ... that's £1.1 million every single day since the birth of Christ.” OMG! Talking of economies, it seems the city council reckons the answer lies in the soil: One angry Latest 7 reader, Mrs T, said: “My allotment bill of £46 per annum is increasing to £64.40 from October, which is a 40 per cent increase. A 40 per cent rise in the current economic situation is utterly disgraceful and beyond belief when ordinary, hard-working people are trying to keep their heads above water. “I could not believe my eyes when I saw the size of the increase. I haven’t had a pay rise for three years yet petrol has increased, the council tax has increased, so has gas and electricity, and growing food has been a way of keeping our heads above water. Some of us are growing vegetables to supplement our families, not as some fashionable hobby. “Council leader Mary Mears needs to do something about this because as usual, it’s hard working families who will be hit, not those on benefits or pensioners. We can’t be squeezed any further.
“I understand that the additional fee will employ more staff but is this really necessary at this time? The council say the increase was made after consultation with the Brighton & Hove Allotment Federation, but clearly this organisation is out of touch with ordinary, down-to-earth growers and perhaps it represents the influx of fashionable allotment holders who come along with the fancy sheds, raised beds and expensive kit who would think nothing of handing over more cash.” Responses and comments please to comment@thelatest.co.uk The May Day bank holiday saw seafront holidaymakers and

very time I go past the site of the new Community Stadium at Falmer, I am amazed at just how quickly work is progressing. When I had a site visit last week my impressions from the outside were confirmed – the project is well on track. The main structure of the stadium is now taking shape with the arch and roof for the East stand complete and the steel frame of the West Stand nearly complete. In fact, last week marked the half way point of the building works, which are scheduled to finish at the end of May 2011 – in
spectators at the cricket in Hove shivering in the icy wind but the Brighton Festival, as usual, was turning the city hot. The Children's Parade was spectacular and the Art Open House in-door exhibitions are again turning heads. Frances Bloomfield is having her attic at 30 Gerard Street, Brighton, converted and she has used the scaffolding as a prop for Chalky – her man created from chicken wire and an old suit from Age Concern. Her trade-mark miniature Chalkies are inside the house along with work from Pete Fraser, Janet Brooke, Bryan Ellery, Abigail Barr, Kate Bloomfield and Cakes Actually. Check out www.francesbloomfield.com and www.beyond-the-level.org.uk In other news, it seems parking wardens are worried about being beaten up when they patrol the entertainment district of the city, while police in Worthing are trying to nip trouble in the bud by touring pubs and clubs looking for drunks to send home. Finally, while the big boys and girls in the art world were doing their festival thing, St Bartholomew's CE Primary School eight-year-old Aurora Pang-Brown showed she's pretty good too by beating 460 other entrants and winning the City in Bloom poster competition. Well done petal. Do you have a message for your new MP?

time for the beginning of the new football season in August 2011. The city has been waiting for this moment ever since that dark day back in April 1997 when the Albion played their last game at the Goldstone Ground. Since then, the long-suffering fans have had to put up with a 140 mile round trip to Gillingham for home games and then the less than perfect athletics track at Withdean! So, 14 years later, they are finally going to get what they deserve – a new state of the art stadium. After an encouraging end to the season this year, let’s hope that the Albion can get promoted from League 1 next season so they start life at Falmer
[Re Building Opinions, LH470] Dear Editor, I would like to point out that whenever he writes about anything around the Regency Square area, Robert Nemeth always mentions Sussex Heights not in a complimentary way. This time his comment was ‘Sussex Heights is one of the worst architectural crimes ever committed in Brighton’. I appreciate he is entitled to his opinion, but does he have to air it at regular intervals? As you can see I live in Sussex Heights. They are lovely flats, spacious and well run. They are also extremely well built according to various surveys that have taken place over the years. Give us a rest Robert. Yours Sincerely, Marlene Shoefield, Sussex Heights Robert Nemeth responds: As a former resident myself, I have to agree that the flats are delightful, as are the views from within. I'm a quite a fan, too, of the building's profile when viewed from afar. My principal dislike relates to the building at ground level. An extremely important church was demolished when it was built as you'll know from the photo in the foyer. It also has an extremely uninviting entrance, a number of derelict floors between ground and first, and a demeaning physical connection with the adjacent conference halls. If these get fixed, I promise not to mention Sussex Heights again so negatively! [Re The Secret Garden review, p 23, online at www.thelatest.co.uk since 4 May] I’m very glad you enjoyed The Secret Garden and our cleverly thought out lighting cues (I did the lighting for the first half of the show!)

playing in the Championship. And from there – who knows? The sky is the limit – Manchester United, Chelsea, Barcelona...!! Whilst I am talking about sporting matters, I was delighted last week to be able to give the go ahead for the Brighton Marathon to take place again next year. The inaugural event was such a massive success for the city that I had absolutely no hesitation in coming to my decision. Indeed, having spoken to Tim Hutchings and Tom Naylor – the race organisers – I am certain it is going to be even bigger and better next year. So, I would advise aspiring runners to get their entries in quickly at www.brightonmarathon.co.uk – I imagine that places will fill up even faster than they did last year!

“
It’s been a fabulous year. I had no idea of the variety of situations and people I would meet during my year of office. Nothing can prepare you for this job! I’ve become involved with citizens in a way I never dreamed of. What I’ve most enjoyed is not all the big official functions, but meeting with so many wonderful ‘ordinary’ people at the smaller and more informal events
”
Mayor of Brighton and Hove, Councillor Ann Norman, will remove her chain of office for the last time on Thursday May 13 when her term as our Mayor comes to an end. She is pictured with her husband Ken (also a councillor) – they share a love of Bonsai and all kinds of gardening, and are well known as experts in the Bonsai world. Ann also has a deep interest in music and dance of all kinds.

aving been stranded over in the US for an extra nine days due to the volcanic ash cloud had its ups – and spotting celebs was one of the them for sure. Spending over three weeks in Los Angeles, you cannot fail to bump into at least one or two. I did quite well; even on the second day I was lunching with the girls from the office when we spotted one of the UK’s hottest comic talents – Marc Wootton. Anybody who caught Marc’s performance as the hilarious Mr Poppy in the Christmas hit film Nativity would instantly become a fan, trust me. Marc was having a laid back lunch in cult downtown Mexicana restaurant Clifton’s – until we screamed across the room, “Helloooooo Mr Poppy!” Marc chatted to us about his US opportunities, and can currently be seen on his new BBC 3 three series, appropriately titled La La Land! My eagle eyes also spotted actor Ewan McGregor, duly queuing up for food. Having met him a couple of times before with Suzi Perry at the Moto GP at Brands Hatch, I couldn’t resist saying hello!
VICTORY FOR VINNIE While in LA I went to see Vinnie Jones and his football team, the Hollywood Allstars, play a match in the California beach resort of Santa Monica. Vinnie was looking a little worse for wear as the night before he had got into a fight with fellow Brit actor, Tamer Hassan. The pair had been drinking at celeb hangout Chateau Marmont and were due to start filming together. Vinnie, 45, told a tabloid, “Me and Tamer had words and a bit of a scuffle, like a lot of blokes do on a weekend after a drink and a curry.” Vinnie Jones and Hollywood Allstars As you can see from my pictures, Vinnie didn’t play in the match but stood on the sidelines shouting encouragement to his fellow team mates who stomped home to a 4-1 victory. Vinnie as you imagine was quite charming and even kicked a ball about with my son after the match!
EASTBOURNE IDOL ANYONE? One of the biggest TV shows in the States – well, apart from Glee and the Superbowl – is American Idol. The tag line for this year’s show, which airs to over 40 million people, is that it is head judge Simon Cowell’s last ever show. Whilst dining in an all you can eat Italian restaurant next door to the CBS Studios where the show is filmed, my son spotted one of the finalists, Katie Stevens, eating the biggest slice of cheesecake you can imagine. Taking after his mother, my son shouted out her name and she duly rushed over and made us speak just to hear our “Adorable English Accents”. It turned out that Katie has relatives in Eastbourne! We, of course, were the kiss of death as Katie was booted off the show the very next night! Later that week we cycled past other judge Randy Jackson, wearing DayGlo sportswear on Katie from American Idol and her mum Venice Beach.
TIMBERLAKE TIME My best spot of the trip has to be the Trousersnake, Justin Timberlake, who attended an event we were hosting the media for. Justin arrived around the back door with girlfriend Jessica Biel – but I managed to grab a snap (much to the dismay of his PR) for my mate’s son!

What we used to say An occasional series in which we struggle to remember the original, simple, once common terms that have been abandoned in favour of ghastly, overblown, crass, managerial Americanisms. WHAT WE SAY NOW: “Heads up" Phrase indicating that one wishes to be kept informed of developments or updates, used by those in business who desire to be thought of as cool, fast-moving and transatlantic, despite the fact they almost certainly work somewhere like a wholesale bar snacks export business in Penge: “Give me a heads up when that dry roasted peanut order comes in” WHAT WE USED TO SAY: "Reminder"

ALL’S GOOD IN THE HOOD
Ahead of Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe’s ‘historically accurate’ retelling of Robin Hood, the film’s star talks man, myth and Maid Marion. Words: Glen Ferris Is it true that Robin’s relationship with Marion was based in part on The Taming Of The Shrew’s Petruchio and Kate? The Marion relationship has certain Shakespearean elements to it. Robin and Marion don’t get on at all when they first meet, but there is a latent kindness to both these people. They are similar creatures who have been looking for some sign of that intuitive kindness in other people all their lives. You’re also joined by a pared-down group of Merry Men... The core thing with these guys is that they are all athletes, and they all have a physical side to what they do in the film. Added to that, they are all intelligent, so they can learn new skills quickly. Scott [Grimes as Will Scarlett] is an incredible singer and Kevin [Durand, Little John] has the coordination of a ballet dancer, yet the physicality of an ice hockey player; he is 6ft7 and 235 pounds. Then there’s Alan [Doyle, the lead singer of Celtic band Great Big Sea who plays Alan A’Dayle], who has never acted, he’s a folk singer from Newfoundland, and he knows how to play the lute. I said to Ridley, ‘If you’re going to have a guy playing the troubadour, let’s have a guy who knows how to play the lute. He also has a wonderful singing voice, that’s a key element with the Merry Men! How keen were you on playing a role that’s been done countless times before? I was very enthusiastic. Robin Hood has always been in the back of my mind since I was a child. I was a big fan of the various incarnations I saw when I was growing up. There’s a universal connection that everyone makes to Robin Hood, which is at the core of the story: there might be somebody out there who cares enough to redress the imbalance. There’s an empowerment quality about Robin to which people respond. How important was it to have a different approach to the legend? I said I’d do Robin Hood, but only if it were a fresh take. It is one of the longest-surviving stories in the English language and that requires due respect. I took the attitude that, if you’re going to revitalize Robin Hood, it has to be done on the basis that whatever you thought you knew about the legend was an understandable mistake. It has to be different from what has come before. Take Robin and Little John, for example, who don’t get on when they first meet. When we first meet them, they have a disagreement but that doesn’t take place on a log over a creek with a staff fight, which has been done to death. What we’ve done is to redefine the times and shift the timeline. In all versions of the legend, there’s a catalyst that starts Robin on his road to rebellion. What compels your character? He’s suppressed the memory of watching his father, who was this gifted speechmaker and man of the people, die. In his mind, his mother and father just got rid of him and stopped loving him. That’s what has been on his mind for 35 to 40 years. Here’s a guy who’s traveled across Europe and all through the Middle East. He’s seen a variety of different ways that people live, and when he gets back to England he’s surprised that this seems to be the most suppressive place. We follow a man on a journey of self-discovery. Along the way he begins to remember his past, and his quest solidifies. He realizes fate has overtaken him, and he has joined in
Not since Gladiator, your first collaboration with Ridley Scott, have you attempted such an epic tale... In Australia we’d say, ‘That’s bigger than Ben-Hur’ and that’s how it felt.
“There was an extended period where I was firing 200 arrows a day – that’s roughly equivalent to an Olympic archer” something much larger than he thought it was. In the process of finding out who he is, he takes up his father’s work where he left off. You’re joined in the film by an amazing cast, not least Cate Blanchett as Maid Marion. How was it working with your fellow countryperson at last? Her demeanor, everything about her... Cate is a magnificent actress. She has resilience and a resonance. She’s tough, strong and single-minded. Every decision she makes is about truth. She has complete control over her emotional responses, so she can make the smallest gesture a gigantic statement.
Thanks to Gladiator, though, you’re previously experienced with horses and weapons – but how did you adjust to using Robin Hood’s legendary bow and arrow? You’ve got to make the thing that’s part of your character part of you. If you’re going to fire a bow and arrow, then you need to learn how to do it because the circumstances are never going to be perfect. There was an extended period where I was firing 200 arrows a day – that’s roughly equivalent to what an Olympic archer would do in preparation for a competition. It’s just what you do, it’s the quiet contemplation and the work before there’s film in the camera that creates the character. Robin Hood opens at screens across Sussex on Friday 14 May

In the balance
One man was watching the General Election even more closely than most. The Treason Show’s Mark Brailsford talks to Bella Todd Photos: Michael Hutson
“I
suppose the biggest name drop’s got to be Kenneth Branagh," says Mark Brailsford, leaning back in his chair with mock swagger. “One of our cast members had lunch with him, and he asked her what she was working on. It's called The Treason Show, she explained, a satirical sketch show mixing songs and sketches and local and national and international news .... And Kenneth Branagh, says, “Oh, I've got an idea for you. I've always thought, wouldn't it be nice to rewrite that Katie Melua song ‘Crazy’ all about Bisto. You know, 'the closest thing to gravy...’” Founded by Brighton-raised Brailsford in 2000 according to Bernard Shaw's dictum that “the best way to get an idea into people's heads is to shove it down their throats while their mouths are open laughing”, The Treason Show pride themselves on having a stab at just about anything – surreal flights of fancy from knights of the realm included. A team of around 100 writers contribute ideas, thrashing them into shape once a month round a back table at the Battle Of Trafalgar. Over the last 10 years they’ve had Saddam Hussein invading the Sussex coastline. They've done Nick Robinson as the reincarnation of Eric Morecambe. They've performed a Dr Who sketch with a CyberEubank, using nothing but a pipe, a monocle and a silver bucket. And, of course, they've done hundreds of naked gags, Brailsford’s one-off appearance sans clobber in the inaugural show having become a staple motif by popular demand.
This flexibility – they revise the script up to the hour before the show – will stand the team in good stead this week, as they perform their Election Special shows at new Fringe venue The Old Courtroom. Several weeks prior, sitting in his little office opposite Norfolk Square where the shelves creak with tapes of “a decade's worth of knob gags” and the telly is permanently tuned to News 24, Brailsford hasn't yet typed a word of the show. But he's not worried. Well, ok, he's bricking it. But he's grown to love that sensation almost as much as those "delicious breaths of silence before the big, shocked guffaws". "All the funny stuff comes out after the election because the characters start to define themselves," says Brailsford. "By the time we write the show we'll know if Hague’s a foreign secretary. If Labour stay we can bring back the Milliband brothers act. If Cameron holds the balance of power, which is likely, we’ve already got him nailed because we do him as Leslie Phillips. “Tim Loughton, MP for Shoreham, is a mate of Dave’s. He came to see us – which isn't easy if you're a Tory MP because we directly rip into them – and said, ‘Oh by the way, I've told Dave about you'. Apparently David Cameron laughed at the joke, which half of me likes, and half of me thinks – damn!” During May, Brailsford will also be performing his one-man play about cricket, Mushy Ate My Credit Card, at The Old Courtroom. And on 7 November The Treason Show plan to celebrate their 10th birthday with a show at the Theatre Royal. So he’s not worried that a hungparliament could potentially kill off satire? "It could be the worst thing that happens for the country, and therefore the best thing that happens for The Treason Show. But either way, I’m going to make hay!" The Treason Show: Election Special, The Old Courtroom, Thursday 20–Saturday 22 May, 9pm, £12.50. Mushy Ate My Credit Card, The Old Courtroom, Thursday 13–Saturday 15 May, 9pm, £10/8.

T
he most frequent question I get asked is: where is the best Sunday lunch in Brighton? I seldom hesitate: at home. I’m not boasting – I do a pretty mean roast if I do say so myself. No, what I mean is, on the whole, Sunday lunch is a meal best enjoyed around the table with family and friends. Of course, for those who ask who are scared of sticking a decent chicken in a roasting dish with a glass of wine and a big lump of butter or olive oil and a few herbs – even just an onion, not even peeled – then my answer is inadequate. So here is my local recommendation: in Brighton it doesn’t come much better than at Sam’s in Kemp Town, but more of that soon. “It was cooked to This week I want to focus on The Snowdrop Inn in darkest Lewes. It’s a perfection and as fabulous pub that has had a checkered history of late. I used to love it, but it tender as could be, went downhill. So when I heard that Dom and Tony, the guys behind The Eagle and crisp on the skin, The Hop Poles had managed to buy the pink at the heart; Freehold I was delighted for them and for the public. To not be tied to a brewery you could have cut chain was exactly what they needed to really show what they can do. it with a spoon” And do it they have. Mr L and I were off to Glyndebourne with two friends for a charity concert. Sunday lunch was in order so we met at the Snowdrop hoping that we could eat well and be at the opera house in time. I was first to arrive and couldn’t help but notice how sparkling the place is, spotless but not stripped of any of the old character. I ordered a grapefruit and soda and Tony remembered that I like a splash of Angostura Bitters. Now that has to be service – a tiny detail, but one that really impresses. When the others arrived we were fast to order, and we did say that we needed to eat and be away by a certain time. They assured us that it was not a problem. I was delighted to see pea and ham soup, and even more delighted when noone else wanted it. Mr L chose an avocado with crayfish that was massive. Mr G had the smoked mackerel pâté which came with toast and home pickled cucumber, and Ms V a soup of leeks with wild garlic. It was impressive fare, generous and tasty, all clearly made fresh. Even the bread was good and piping hot. I was in danger of peaking before the main event but managed to stay ahead of the game. Mr L then went for the roast chicken, a quality bird, the kind I buy to roast myself, and it looked perfect: crisp, well
seasoned skin and succulent meat. He was very happy. Ms V is vegetarian and was delighted to find a few choices. I must confess to having a pathological hatred of nut roasts, but she was keen, and I have to say I looked on with envy. On the whole, for nut roast I usually read stuffing, but this bake of cashew and brazil nuts with red peppers was a moist, vibrant red delight that looked like the chef actually cared. Mr G and I went for the Sussex lamb. It was cooked to perfection and as tender as could be, crisp on the skin, pink at the heart; you could have cut it with a spoon. There was even a decent mint sauce and not some nasty bottled jelly. The only thing missing on arrival was the gravy. I was delighted. I like to add my own gravy, and I like it on my vegetables and not on my meat. I know, but it’s a personal preference and one they had remembered. We soon had our own small jugs of decent gravy, even a good vegetarian one. So on to the accompanying dishes. Well, top notch all round really. Perhaps the parsnips were cut a bit too thin but two kinds of carrots, both very different in flavour, were all in all wonderful. And such good roast potatoes, crisp out, fluffy in, and utterly moreish. Had I any self discipline, I would have left some and thereby space for pud, but I didn’t. So now to the downside – and there were a couple of downers. One, the portions are huge, really big, which is no surprise of course as the boys are famous for their large portions. And two, it’s in bloomin’ Lewes and not closer to home for me. Finally, it was remarkable value. I slipped to the bar to pay and our food bill, including my fruit juice, came to a modest £50.90. Thats £12.72 each for a top notch two course Sunday lunch by any standards. I regret not making it onto the puddings but my waistband does not.

Excess baggage Clare Brown from Revitalise on the12-week weight loss programme that gets results
C
arrying excess weight is not only an image issue – it carries with it serious health implications. Obesity from middle age reduces life expectancy by almost a decade, which is comparable to smoking 20 cigarettes a day. People often tell me how lucky I am. I have three children aged three, four and seven, I’m as slim as ever, and my tummy is flat and toned. If only they knew I used to weigh three and a half stone more than I do now – before I had kids! It was a combination of late nights, alcohol, over eating and probably comfort eating too, looking back. It happened progressively, so I didn’t really notice it at first. I got a shock when I went shopping to buy a dress for my sister’s wedding. Nothing looked good on me; I had gone from a size 10 to a size 16. That was the wake up call I desperately needed. I started to read health books, I did a one-week detox followed by an eight-week liver cleansing programme, and I exercised lots. I lost two and a half stone and felt fantastic. It wasn’t until afterwards that I realised how much it had been affecting me. 12 years on and the way I think about food is still different, and it was what I learnt during those nine weeks that did it. Since those nine weeks of focusing and committing to a weight loss programme, I’ve lost another stone without even trying. I never deny myself anything I fancy – I still eat chocolate, chips, crisps and cake, but I also eat lots of fruit, vegetables and healthy foods. I’m active – I teach pilates and Power Plate classes and jog occasionally. You don’t have to let diet and exercise take over your life. It’s all about balancing your lifestyle, listening to your body and being happy. Now I want to help others who may have slipped into bad eating habits change their lives. There are many reasons why the pounds may have crept on: having a baby, carrying an injury, comfort eating, overcoming an emotional issue, boredom, sedentary lifestyle, or simply enjoying too much of the good life! Whatever the reason, I’ve devised a 12-week weight loss programme incorporating the same principles that worked for me so I can say with confidence that committing to this programme really can change lives... The programme combines food diary analysis, exercise diary analysis and eating plans with 12 weeks of unlimited Power Plate classes, three colonic hydrotherapy sessions and three nutritional therapy sessions at Revitalise. This programme will replace your old bad habits with refreshing new ones, and you’ll find yourself enjoying healthy foods you never thought possible! At the end of the 12 weeks, you will have cleansed your digestive track from top to bottom (literally), reducing the risk of disease, and you will be educated on how to make simple changes so you can easily maintain the weight you lose long term. During the 12 weeks a nutritionist and exercise specialist will be available by email to give advice. There’s also the option of combining this programme with a course of laser lipo treatments. Laser lipo is a fat melting laser system that provides instant inch loss from those most stubborn areas. For maximum benefits, laser lipo is best combined with Power Plate classes and a balanced diet, which is why we’ve included it as an option. The 12-week weight loss programme at Revitalise: £700 (or three monthly instalments of £250). Includes 10% off all supplements and foods purchased at the Revitalise health shop for the duration of the programme. Special introductory offer: 20% discount to Latest 7 readers who sign up in return for customer testimonials – just quote ref ‘latest’. Combine this package with a course of eight laser lipo session and save up to a further £300. Revitalise, 86 Church Road, Hove, 01273 738389, www.revitalise-u.co.uk

Robert Cohen’s The Trials Of Harvey Matusow
All the world’s a stage Pack a rug and a picnic and catch As You Like It in St Ann’s Well Gardens
I
n stark contrast to Cheek By Jowl’s dark Macbeth there is a chance to catch the lighter side of the Bard with the Festival Shakespeare Company’s new production of As You Like It. And after their huge success with A Midsummer Night’s Dream last year, this promises to be one show not to miss. Set in the lovely confines of the scented garden of St Ann’s Well Gardens, these events are relaxed and family friendly. Whilst hardly adhering to the original folios, they do offer an insightful look at Shakespeare’s work, often peppered with irreverent humor and, this time,
larded with music and song. If you like your Shakespeare serious then this may not be for you, but if you like it light and entertaining then you are in for a good night. The great advantage of making this kind of adaptation of these works is that it will often be far more accessible to a younger audience – not Shakespeare-Lite as such, but certainly an easier form. As You Like It, St Ann's Well Gardens, Scented Garden, Summerhill Road Hove, 12–16 and 19–23 May, 7pm, £5–£10/£25 family of four, children under 12 free, 01273 709709.

“The thing about Joe McCarthy – the thing they never mention – is this: Joe McCarthy was a sonof-a-bitch, but he was the nicest son-of-a-bitch you ever met.” Set in the late 1960s, Robert Cohen’s one-man show finds Harvey Matusow in selfimposed exile in England, looking back on a journey that took him from the Bronx to McCarthyite Washington to Lewisburg Penitentiary – and thereafter to a struggle for redemption among the underground art worlds of New York and London. The Trials Of Harvey Matusow is the strange tale of a man who, at the height of the Cold War, succeeded in the seemingly impossible feat of uniting America’s left and right – in hatred for him. Once a keen communist, he became an FBI informer and a prolific witness in anti-red trials and hearings; he then set the cat among the stool pigeons by admitting that almost all the evidence he’d given – for bodies such as HUAC, the US Justice Department, and Senator McCarthy’s Government Operations Committee – had been false. This is the age of McCarthy, as seen through the eyes of America’s most notorious liar,

THIS IS AFROBEAT Tony Allen was the drummer and unofficial musical director of Fela Kuti's seminal band, Africa 70, from 1968 until 1979. Together they pioneered the Afrobeat revolution, melding Nigerian highlife, jazz and James Brown-style funk grooves into a potent musical force.

Following a 30k refurb, Metway Studios, The Levellers’ legendary local hangout, opens its doors to the public this week
O
ne of Brighton’s most successful bands, The Levellers, have made Metway Studios their home since the mid ’90s. Over the years it has attained semi-legendary status, hosting the likes of Joe Strummer, Nick Cave, Orbital, Asian Dub Foundation, Tricky, Vashti Bunyan and literally hundreds of other bands and musicians. “Years ago we wanted somewhere to rehearse, but we always had to go to London – there just weren’t many suitable places here in Brighton,” says Mark Chadwick, The Levellers’ lead singer. “It was a real steal at the time, and gradually we turned it into our home; offices, rehearsal and recording spaces. We’ve recorded many of our albums here, including the last one, and we’ll record the new one here too.” Originally home to light engineering companies, including those who made signs, carpets and clocks (it was even used as stables for the Prince Regent’s horses), The Metway became the base for a grass roots cottage industry, not only cutting costs for professional bands but also offering cheap and affordable studio space in one of the building’s annexes to artists, artisans and those involved in the media, fashion and film. A couple of years ago, the band almost sold the building, but the economic downturn eventually spurred them to give the main studio a makeover, the results of which will be available for all to see at a special Open Day on Saturday 15 May, which will also feature live music. “Almost everything is brand new in the control
room,” says in-house engineer Toby May. “We got rid of ‘old faithful’ (the main mixing desk) – it was 13 years old and starting to die. We’ve now got a more compact, more up-to-date valve desk. Valve technology is back in fashion again – they give more warmth, coloration, saturation and cuddliness!” The Metway is well know for its spacious, airy and light-filled live room, something that gives them a distinct edge in the on-going battle with new technologies that enable anyone with a laptop and the right programmes to make decent sounding music. “The room is large, there’s lots of space and it has plenty of natural light,” says Mark. “People book the studio for the space and the movement of air it offers,” adds Toby. “You can only get certain sounds and atmospherics with large controlled spaces.” Metway Studios are offering bands a 25 per cent off voucher for any day recording session, available on the Open Day. Overall, about £30,000 has been invested, including money spent on the bar and lounge area – another plus for any recording artists. “We’re offering bespoke packages, with a sliding scale of rates,” say Toby. “And we’ll be there at the Open Day so if people want to come and have a chat they are most welcome!” Metway Studios Open Day, 55 Canning Street, 15 May, 12-4pm, www.metwaystudios.co.uk

Dir: Roger Kumble
Rocky Springs is an idyllic community in the heart of the Oregon forest. Along comes a ruthless developer, planning to rip up all the trees and usurp them with a shopping centre that – get this – has a forest theme. Our friend Brendan Fraser is brought in to work on the project and manages to convince himself this defoliating of the greenland is a good thing. But he hadn’t reckoned on the woodland critters out to defend their turf. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon
Showing this week Iron Man 2 (12A) Dir: Jon Favreau Metal-clad billionaire hero Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jnr) is returning, and fortunately he’s still got Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) and new man James ‘Rhodey’ Rhodes (Don Cheadle) by his side to help him out against the worst elements, like the armoured titan Whiplash (Mickey Rourke) and seductive adventurer The Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson). Talk about having your hands full! Showing at Cineworld and Odeon
The Ghost (15) Dir: Roman Polanski
Robin Hood (12A) Dir: Ridley Scott
Russell Crowe is the soldier returned from the Crusades – an expert archer by the way –to find a corrupt sheriff and assemble a band of outlaws to stand against the oppression of a tyrant. Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius... Oops! Sorry, wrong film, but you get the idea; it’s not fresh ground Crowe is treading here in more than one way. His Hood, like Hoods before him, is after the love of the Lady Marion (Cate Blanchett), and obviously one way to impress a woman of her calibre is to wage a guerrilla war on the powers that squash the little people. Which he does. With the baddies duly played by such Brit greats as Matthew Macfadyen and Mark Strong, and a lovely Mark Addy taking up the mantle of Friar Tuck, you can bet the ensemble will shine on through as well as the stars. (See also Russell Crowe interview p 11) Showing at Odeon, Cineworld, Connaught
A Nightmare On Elm Street (18) Dir: Samuel Bayer
The 2010 remake of the film that gave Johnny Depp his screen debut. There’s a scarred serial killer stalking the dreams of a group of teens, crossing over and making the survivors terrified to ever shut their eyes in case they glimpse the infamous Freddy Krueger. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon
Kick-Ass (15) Dir: Matthew Vaughn
Wonder why comic heroes don’t help in everyday life? You’re in good company as teen nerd Dave (Aaron Johnson)
21
straps on his homemade outfit and weapons and helps the helpless, inspiring all manner of vigilantes
(including Nic Cage). The local crime boss is a tad put out, though. Showing at Odeon
Here’s the skinny: Ewan McGregor is hired to take over ghost writing Prime Minister Pierce Brosnan’s memoirs when the old ghost dies. The PM immediately gets accused of handing over suspected terrorists for torture by the CIA. Then it all gets a bit conspiracy-ey. No need to look at Tony Blair like that. Showing at Duke Of York’s
Four Lions (15) Dir: Christopher Morris Media provocateur Chris Morris caused a stir with this contemporary terrorist farce at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. It tells the tale of a group of British jihadists deteriorating as they clash internally and become less a group about ideology and more a group of idiots. Showing at Duke Of York’s

OLD ROPE COMEDY
O
ne week into Brighton Festival and Brighton Festival Fringe and there are so many good shows to see and so little time to catch them all! Here’s a chance to see a mixture of new fresh material with bankable comics. Old Rope Comedy takes players from the shows that are on locally – and further afield – and lets them try out new material in front of a live audience. That’s you. If at any time the performer’s new material seems to be waning in its reception, they simply hold onto the rope hanging in the centre of the stage and throw out some banker jokes that guarantee laughs but aren’t new. Old rope jokes in fact. Past alumni and benefactors of the Old Rope forum have included Russell Howard, Stephen Grant and Richard Herring, and this Fringe’s
show keeps that high quality and then piles on more. The brilliant line-up leaked to us include In The Loop star and seasoned stand-up Chris Addison; Fringe and Radio 4 favourite Lucy Porter; Radio 4 writer and popular circuit comic Dan Evans; underground favourite Benny Boot; and her off the telly and winner of numerous stand-up prizes: Holly Walsh. All of them will be treating us with material never before heard – some of which may become classic, some of which could disappear into the ether, never to be aired again. There’s an anarchic feel to any Old Rope Comedy night, as anything could happen – and quite frequently does. Created by respected comics Tiffany Stephenson and Phil Nichol, it’s been a crowd-pleaser at the Edinburgh Festival and its regular London spot for years, popular with both punters and comics. So if you want a taste of the Fringe but are at a loss as to where to start, there are a lot worse places than Komedia on Tuesday. There’s nowhere else you’d get those names at this price tag.

L7 Under review For reviews of Apollo..., Here Comes The Bride, Loin/Far, Story Of A Family, Ivor Dembina, Seeing Things, Patrick Monahan and many more Festival and Fringe shows visit www.thelatest.co.uk/7 – every morning throughout May OSCAR WILDE’S THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING ERNEST Nicola Haydn pulls off a coup de theatre with a ripping Wilde. Setting this play in The Grand and serving afternoon tea gives this play an appropriate grandiosity and pomp. But the real genius is in the casting: Algie and Jack are simply naughty upper class boys, but for all their contrivances they are no match for a brilliant Gwendolyn and a sassy Cecily. Both bordering on barking mad but both in firm control of their destiny. All four play their parts with verve and conviction. Kate Dyson’s Lady Bracknell is her own, no impersonation, and as such shines, her lines delivered with a sense of belief rather than pompous lunacy. Full marks too for excellent diction throughout in a difficult acoustic setting. A classy production of a classic that had the entire audience thrilled from start to finish, and a decent tea too! The Grand Hotel, until 31 May FR JJJJJ Andrew Kay
THE SELFISH GIANT A clever piece of programming by the Brighton Festival allowed an audience of exhausted parents and offspring, fresh from the rigours of the Children’s Parade, to relax into the relative luxury of the Dome’s plush stalls and witness the world premiere of Howard Goodall’s excellent musical tale of The Selfish Giant. Based on a story by Oscar Wilde and commissioned by the Festival, Goodall’s children’s opera used all the instrumental elements of colour and combination the Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra could muster to trace the Giant’s transition from ogre to benefactor. With the added bonus of the Festival Choir, an imaginative narrator and the Dome’s very own giant pipe organ, the recovering paraders were enthralled. Concert Hall, Brighton Dome, 1 May BF JJJJJ Paulo Clark
FIRE TUSK PAIN PROOF CIRCUS Mixing mock intimidation with the grotesque and more than a splash of dark humour, the Fire Tusk Pain Proof Circus and its acts loosely hang around a tale of disappearing clowns amidst rumours of clown abuse and a Clown Idol audition. This was at its best when pure spectacle, like the acrobatics of auditionee Fancy Chance or the bed of nails set incorporating the entire company but centreing around performer Tusk –
and suffered most when procrastinating. The movement and dance of the troupe was engaging to watch, taking us into a different world and crescendoing in impressive tableaux of quiet circus unity. Freerange, 3 May FR JJJJJ Victoria Nangle
THE SECRET GARDEN A gloomy basement in a big house. Stone floors, high ceilings, a sense of claustrophobia. A cast of four present a promenade performance with a depth and lightness of touch, focusing on the emotions in this classic children’s story: sadness, loneliness, despair, and the redeeming nature of love. Clever lighting and scenes set behind gauze help the story develop. Wooden shutters keep light out or flooding in and the final scene in the garden is uplifting. Mark Katz and Alison Poole are excellent as Lord Craven and housemaid Martha, but the two child actors hold our gaze: Kitty Perrin, a perfect Mary, growing, like the garden, from a closed and stony shell to a charming and engaging life-force, and Oli Howes perfectly portraying the sensitive, excitable Colin Craven. Regency Town House, until 16 May FR JJJJJ Candy McNamara
CABARET WHORE Sarah Louise Young took the stage with all the confidence and balls of a drag queen, but with the voice of a West End star. Her first alias of Sammy Mavis Junior crossed Tina C with Lily Savage, singing of her time as a ‘little girl in a trailer park’, in her American tan and denim combo. Sammy resembled leftover ’80s singer Tiffany with an acid tongue and could’ve satisfied for the entire show, but she was shortly followed by Cabaret Idol quarter finalist and part time librarian, Loretta, who sent up middle England gloriously. Finally, Young’s last persona, a French cabaret artiste with a grudge against Piaf who took to the stage brandishing a knife, closed the show declaring ‘I want to cause you pain!’. A sharp tongue and wit, a fantastic voice and a delightfully absorbing show – yes. But no pain here. Temple Bar, 2 May FR JJJJJ Victoria Nangle
PAST PARTICIPANT DREAMTHINKSPEAK: BEFORE I SLEEP Old co-op building, until 23 May
W
e suspect Nick Clegg, with his policy of bringing empty properties back into use, would be a fan of dreamthinkspeak. Tristan Sharps’ Brighton-based company create site-specific performance installations for often abandoned buildings. And this time around they’re bringing a new lease of life – or rather a new lease of death – to the old co-op building on London Road. Built in 1931, this department store, stretching over four floors and 70,000 square feet, is a huge great slab of local history. It’s heydey sounds like something out of Harry Potter – a central cash conveyance system sent money whirring around the store in little aerial pods. And a measure of just how integral it was to the community is the fact so many older Brightonians can still tell you their ‘divi’ number. Various rumours about its future are in play – it will be flats; a Wetherspoons; home to a global retailer. For now it remains derelict, and has been for three years. With a penchant for layers and portals that pits traditional dolls houses against modern architects’ models and hides whole ‘scenes’ behind wardrobe doors, dreamthinkspeak have woven into the building’s history the story of Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard, in which an aristocratic family fiddle while the developer’s axe comes down on their rural estate. The uncertainity of the old co-op site’s future means it’s not an
BF
JJJJJ
exact fit. But dreamthinkspeak’s embrace of the building is absolute. Indeed, being politely requested to review the production ‘without mentioning the department store’ is rather like being told to explain to an alien how the human body works without reference to the heart. At the same time, Chekhov’s play is present not only in the images of romantic isolation, the very real stench of stagnation, and the character of the old manservant Firs, left behind at the end of The Cherry Orchard, whose ghostly habitual path we partially follow. It is there in the tiniest of details: in the dark corner of a downstairs room, a handwritten Russian recipe for cherry jam lies forgotten. Later, in the upper storeys, a pushy shop assistant at ‘Millennium Retail’ opens an Ikea display cupboard to reveal to us row upon mass-produced row of Hartley’s Best black cherry jam. Perhaps most impressive is the production’s ability to sweep from close-up to crowd scene, from the slow creaking turn of a door handle to the brilliant lights and international babble of a department store where, in a bleak metaphoric stroke of genius, you can bid for pieces of the set. But more importantly, dreamthinkspeak have discovered a political purpose. Door signs throughout identify ‘the way forward’ and finally ‘the way back’. We couldn’t have been confronted with a more timely choice. Bella Todd

The barefoot runner
Telly Talk
Joe Addison just ran two marathons – sans shoes
With Victoria Nangle
I
A kind of magic “I
guess I started running barefoot for a few reasons. I had heard it could be a solution to injury problems, of which I have had plenty. But I do like to be different. I am by no means the first barefoot runner in the world, or even in Sussex for that Joe’s feet after the Brighton Marathon matter, but it's not exactly mainstream. If it helped save my knees and allowed me to “I just avoided stepping run for years to come, all the better. on half a rat in the middle I had already signed up for the Brighton Marathon of the road at mile two” before I went bare, so I checked with the organisers that there were no rules against it, and then began my training. Shortly afterwards I applied to the charity VICTA (Visually Impaired Children Taking Action) for one of their places in the London marathon, which was due to take place on 25 April, seven days after Brighton. They say you need one day of recovery for every one mile you run in a marathon, whoops! But I figured I would just take it easy and concentrate on keeping my feet healthy and I would be fine. Training had its ups and downs – the downs mainly involving the extremely cold winter! Sub zero temperatures plus unprepared bare feet equals nasty blood blisters! But I eventually built up to running 20 miles and felt physically and mentally prepared for Brighton. When it came to race day it was hot and the road surfaces were unforgiving in places, but I got round with just a minor blister on my toe (and the promise of a free pair of Vivo Barefoot shoes from Terra Plana!). Then I just had the small matter of London to deal with. The promise of hot temperatures meant I was totally unprepared for the torrential downpour while we waited at the start, but that soon dried off and my run buddy Mark (in shoes) and I made good progress – I just avoided stepping on half a rat in the middle of the road at mile two. I finished only slightly over my target time but was just incredibly happy to finish in one piece. My feet were absolutely fine, very dirty and a little scuffed but no blisters or cuts at all and, to top it all off, I raised over £1100 for VICTA. I am still far from being an expert in barefoot running, but if you're interested, I shall keep you updated with the trials and tribulations of being a barefoot runner This is the first in a monthly column about the trials and tribulations of barefoot running. Joe ran the Brighton and London marathons a week apart and barefoot to raise money for visually impaired children.

’ve seen that grin”, says the vocal coach. “I’m chasing that grin for the second song.” Such is the selection process for picking what will be performed next in a remarkable new show about musically gifted people with autism. On Autistic Superstar, the contestants are not told what they will sing like some X Factor protegeé. They are offered an assortment of delicacies from which they can pick a favourite – or conversely knock the entire dish out of the proferred hand. These are remarkable people, and what better way to have the general public pay attention to those they usually ignore than to put them centre square in a format that has millions glued to their seat every weekend – a talent show. Class. Searching the country for suitable candidates, Radio One’s Reggie Yates doesn’t run roughshod over family, community and the wellbeing of potential performers – so those expecting a real life Little Voice will be relieved. Instead, Reggie first enters meekly into 23-year-old Carly’s family home, talking to her parents and witnessing an impressive performance of ‘All That Jazz’ – after her folks have been made to leave the room at Carly’s insistence. Carly speaks in an American babydoll accent when she’s nervous – which is most of the time. But she speaks. Conversely, 18-year-old Martin barely utters two words and lives in his own structured world, his parents acting on his whims in pursuit of a quiet life after a violent episode a couple of years ago. Carly and
Martin are both remarkable people, brought out of themselves by music. As are their parents. There has been a glut of Autistic specific shows from the BBC of late. All hail to them for raising awareness of a differentness. I’ve got to admit, I was a bit scared they’d make it all Rain Man and scare stories. Bad me for ever doubting them. There is such varierty in terms of how being on the Autistic spectrum can affect a
“Carly speaks in an American babydoll accent when she’s nervous – which is most of the time” person, and those around them, that no single story can say it all. But here are a couple, told in a format we’re really quite familar with thanks to good old Simon Cowell. Peter Kay sent up how valuable a good story can be for a talent show hopeful in 2008’s Britain's Got the Pop Factor... Maybe it’s just as useful to have a talent show to highlight a good personal story. Just please don’t make me vote which one’s the best. Autistic Superstar starts on Thursday 13 May, 9pm, BBC3. follow me on twitter

monday 17 Wormwood Scrubs ITV1, 9pm The second episode in this twoparter going behind locked doors of one of Europe’s largest prisons. With no quirky Louis Theroux slant on it, this is bare impressions of the active lives of the inmates and officers. It’s a complex, noisy and disturbed community, but it’s what they’ve got. And it’s Christmas.
Derren Brown Investigates Channel 4, 10pm Derren Brown may do quite a few bizarre stunts (could you get up out of your chair?!) but he’s never claimed it was magic. This series sees him attempting to debunk unorthodox claims and methods, which this week covers the Bronnikov method. Y’know, it claims it enables people to see without using their eyes. Hmm.
Glee E4, 9pm At last, it seems after weeks of having him just sit there muttering about not wanting to sing soppy songs, Puck is actually going to get a bit more. Yup, our favourite babydaddy degenerate has a plan to improve his social standing. He’s not known for his planning. Yikes. Other news: Rachel has a sore throat.
