Dan Dare and the Birth of Hi-Tech Britain

Dates: 22.5.2008 to 25.10.2009. Dan Dare's rocket fleet roars high over Venus to trounce his arch foe - the power-mad Mekon. Meanwhile, back on Earth, another extraordinary future is unfolding - one which laid the foundation for Britain's hi-tech consumer society. After 1945, though war-weary and broke, Britain found huge pride in wartime advances such as radar, penicillin and the jet engine. Discoveries like these were now tipped to kick-start world-beating industries, bring prosperity and bankroll the emerging welfare state. In an age before globalisation, products from rockets to radios sprang from local roots. Together they reveal a fascinating 'lost world' of British design and invention - a glimpse of a time when the TV in the corner was a Murphy, not a Sony.

Arcadia features an outstanding company of actors, including Neil Pearson, Dan Stevens, Nancy Carroll, Jessie Cave and Ed Stoppard.

Proof

17 November 2009 - 21 November 2009. A Pulitzer Prize-winning play by David Auburn, Proof is the compelling story of a woman haunted by her father's past and the shadow of her own future. It explores the fine line between genius and madness, the relationships within a family and the concept of truth. For some years now, Catherine, a woman in her late twenties, has cared for her mentally unstable father, a mathematical genius named Robert. On his death, Catherine must deal not only with the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire, but also with the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father who wants to comb the genius's numerous notebooks for some publishable work. As Catherine confronts Hal's affections and her sister's overbearing plans for her life, she struggles to come to terms with the implications of her father's death. She has inherited at least some of his mathematical ability; will she inherit his madness too.

The destructive power of beauty, the blind pursuit of pleasure and the darkness and corruption that lie beneath a charming facade; the themes behind Oscar Wilde's cautionary tale have never been more timely.

The Development of the Art Collection 1830-2007

Dates: 1.1.2009 to 31.12.2009. You would expect a hospital 760 years old to have paintings of kings and queens, governors and benefactors. Indeed we do: our oldest is a portrait of King Henry VIII from the school of Holbein. But one hundred and fifty years ago we started to collect art by our patients. The core of the collection was started by two psychiatrists, Dr Eric Guttmann and Dr the Hon Walter Maclay who worked at the Maudsley Hospital in the 1930s. They were clearly influenced by the art of the insane. Guttmann was primarily interested in clinical research. Maclay, a wealthy man, collected for his private enjoyment, and his interest was an extension of his more general cultural pursuits.
