Turner's House in Twickenham
July 9 – Oct 31 - Between the Sheets: Turner's Nudes
There have been rave reviews in the national press for this exhibition concentrating on a rarely seen side of Britain's greatest artist.
Loved as the master of landscapes and seascapes such as The Fighting Temeraire, Hannibal Crossing the Alps and Norham Castle, few know that Turner's sketchbooks also contain depictions of the female form.
Yet Turner was a compulsive recorder of his life and travels, and produced drawings and watercolours of models, sexual encounters, literary fantasies, and his lovers such as Sophia Booth.
This small-scale exhibition is one of the first to look at Turner's engagement with the naked female form, specifically within intimate and erotic contexts and provides invaluable insight into the man, and his attitude to and relationship with women.
This exhibition is possible thanks to a generous loan from Tate.

Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond
Until July 23 – The False Servant by Pierre Marivaux, translated by Martin Crimp
This is the last chance to see – in the flesh – this acclaimed and addictive adult comedy.
When a man thinks he can cynically take a rich woman's money and then run off with an even more lucrative potential fiancée, he had best not tell the fiancée by mistake.
Le Chevalier, a woman disguised as the son of an aristocrat, embarks on a plan that will expose the dark heart of this male power-play.
This version by Martin Crimp was acclaimed at its 2004 National Theatre premiere for its 'thrills, chills and belly laughs'.
Crimp's prolific international career began at the Orange Tree Theatre, including our recent hit revival of Dealing with Clair.
It is directed by Paul Miller and follows his acclaimed production of Marivaux's The Lottery of Love.
Until July 22 - A Midsummer Night's Dream, William Shakespeare
In a galaxy far far away, a duke has won a queen in a war, a father disowns his daughter because she's in love with the wrong man and a fairy king has his ego bruised and wants revenge on his wife.
OT Community's new project Play On takes the success of Primary Shakespeare and Shakespeare Up Close and deepens the engagement with the production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. It is accompanied by workshops, which will introduce the play to students.
