Room Service!

‘Hotel’ - the word covers a multitude of sins. We’ll be exploring some of them tonight.

‘Room Service!’ mixes readings from professional actors with live music and racy anecdotes that lift the lid on some of our best known establishments – from the cool (New York’s Chelsea Hotel) to the old school (The Ritz, The Savoy) and a string of lesser known places notable for low standards and high jinks.

Big characters make their mark: Oscar Wilde, Patti Smith, Dorothy Parker, The Rolling Stones, Isadora Duncan, Ernest Hemingway, Kenneth Williams, Frank Sinatra and many others.

'Room Service' offers an irreverent, often hilarious look at some of our quirkier establishments - and the equally quirky people who inhabit them.

The venue is the newly restored Hornsey Town Hall, which boasts a 68-room hotel as one of its attractions.

The cast includes: Daniel Dresner and Abiola Ogunbiyi, with Neil Thomas on piano.

Check-in is 7.30pm.
