Forbidden London Clubs, in partnership with The Motion Group theatre company, are staging an all new theatrical production of Vivienne Westwood’s much publicised manifesto for cultural change, Active Resistance to Propaganda, at one of London’s most versatile venues to hire, Bloomsbury Ballroom, this December.

Andrew Steggall, a close friend of Vivienne Westwood, was approached to be part of the project by young political activist and entrepreneur James WJ Wilson - of Forbidden London - who saw the Director as a natural choice to help bring the production to the stage for the first time.

Andrew met Vivienne in 2003 as he explains: “She saw a production of ‘The Soldier’s Tale’ that I directed at the Old Vic. She’s a great believer in the power of theatre and I, a great believer in the power of Vivienne Westwood, was keen to get to know her.”

He continued: “She was already working on the Manifesto then I think and so I have been aware of its development over some time. Over the last couple of years I have been to a number of readings of it and was conscious of its potential to be at least semi-staged.”

Vivienne Westwood - an active and passionate environmental campaigner for The Prince’s Rainforest Project and the closest thing you will come to a living legend - is best known for her influential work in fashion. Considered by many to be the first lady of punk following the opening, with then partner Malcolm McLaren, of a boutique on Chelsea’s Kings Road (originally named Let It Rock and later Sex, Too Fast To Live Too Young To Die and Seditionaries) now known as World’s End.

The Dame also won the accolade of British Fashion Designer of the year in 1990, 1991 and 2006.

Active Resistance to Propoganda will be performed at London’s Bloomsbury Ballroom on Friday, 4th December.

Starsuckers Celebrity Gossip Hoax Film Dupes London Papers

By
Three British papers discussed buying confidential medical information about actor Hugh Grant, director Guy Ritchie and other celebrities in a hoax set up by a documentary film maker. As part of the documentary "Starsuckers", which premieres at the London Film Festival later this month, the filmmakers also planted several fake reports with British tabloids to expose inaccurate celebrity gossip being reported. "We wanted to do a test to see how they would react," director Chris Atkins told Reuters. "It is just showing the public what goes on behind the stories that they pay for every day." The Starsuckers team posed as members of the public to offer the papers fabricated stories about well known-figures to test whether the journalists would check the facts. "We kept trying to do things that they wouldn't print and it happened a couple of times but they pretty much printed most of what we said," Atkins said, adding that their stories had
