UPSTAIRS AT THE GATEHOUSE

4TH – 16TH FEBRUARY 2025

LEARNING: A Thought-Provoking New Play Exploring Identity, Belief, and Love
New Writing at Upstairs at the Gatehouse, London

LEARNING, a brand-new production by Francesca Rose, has recently been performed at artsdepot to excellent audience reaction and will run for two weeks this February at Upstairs at the Gatehouse. This emotionally charged play explores the poignant journey of Debs and Jonathan—a couple torn between love and the pull of their respective faiths

Jonathan embraces the Jewish faith he has long evaded, while Debs, weary of living up to religious imperatives, longs for liberation. Amid raw conflict and fleeting moments of peace, they wrestle with their past and question whether their love can survive the divide.

Directed by Sharon Reshef-Armony, LEARNING features an original score and dynamic movement, adding an extra layer of depth to its exploration of identity and belief. The cast includes Gemma Franco as Debs and Nick Delvallé as Jonathan, with musical direction and composition by Gemma Franco.

Performance Dates and Times:
4th – 16th February 2025
Tuesdays – Saturdays: 7.30pm
Sundays: 4.00pm (2 hours including interval)

Press Night Invitation:
Thursday, 6th February 2025 – show starts 7.30pm. Invitation for you +1.

— Sharon Reshef-Armony, Director

This play touches on many personal experiences woven within the threads of Debs’ and Jonathan’s unique story. I’m excited to share my work as an exploration of love, faith, and the complexity of human relationships.

How To Transfer Emails From One Gmail Account To Another

How To Transfer Emails From One Gmail Account To Another

There might be times when you need to close an email account because a member of staff is leaving the business, or you just don’t use the account anymore. If this is the case, and you have all the emails you need, you can just simply close the account and delete any data associated with the account.

However, if you are taking on a new role or you are rebranding and you need the emails, rather than forwarding yourself hundreds of emails, there is another way, and we show you how.

We have picked Gmail here, but the principles can be applied to other email account providers but do check first or consult your IT support company.

The easiest way is a two-step process where you can import all existing emails and then set up forwarding that can be used until the account is closed.

Import Emails

Sign into the new account where you want to send all the emails to using these processes:

  • Settings, all settings, accounts and in the ‘Check email from other accounts’ section, click Add an email account.
  • Sign into the other account using email and password. Once you get an “authentication is successful” you can move onto the next step
  • Select import options – tick or untick as relevant – then click start import.

Once you do this it could take up to 2 days for the emails to appear.

In the meantime, you can set up email forwarding

Set up Forwarding

  • Sign into your old account
  • Click the Forwarding and POP/IMAP or Forwarding tab
  • Click Add a forwarding address in the “Forwarding” section
  • Enter the email address to forward messages to
  • Click OK

There is also another option which you can use if your emails are archived, or you want to back up your data…

Use Google Takeout

Ever heard of Google Takeout? Us neither. But apparently to transfer archived emails from one Gmail account to another, you can use Google Takeout:

  1. Go to the Google Takeout website
  1. Log in to your Google account
  1. Select mail to transfer to another Gmail account

You can use Google Takeout to download a copy of your data that is stored within Google products, so can be used for photos too, for example.
