Alias Blind Larry
Alias Blind Larry is a convict story, an adventure story, a colonial story, a Jewish story, a theatrical story. A story of cruelty, resilience, cheek and humour, and it is (mostly) true. Born in London in 1793, the son of a poor diamond cutter, young James Laurence travelled to Jamaica, the USA and Canada, clerking, acting, impersonating, singing, forging and defrauding before he was transported to NSW in 1814 for jewel theft. He served time in every penal settlement in NSW, singing and thieving when he was free. He wrote his memoir on Norfolk Island in 1842, just before his release. Then even more adventures followed. A fascinating piece of history, untold until now. Through the narrative of Laurence’s life, Alias Blind Larry re-creates a whole period of history.

Lord Rothschild and the Barber
One day, in January 1997, a group of immigrant, Yiddish-speaking working men met in the kitchen of a basement flat in Sydney Street, Stepney, in the East End of London. Their leader was Isador Berliner, a barber, who had come to the UK from Russia in 1891. He knew from his own experience that Jewish immigrants who did not speak English felt very uneasy when they became patients in hospital. He planned to give them peace of mind by building a hospital, supported by public subscriptions, that would be under Jewish management, and staffed by Jewish doctors and nurses who could speak Yiddish.
