Richmond Theatre

Until Sept 24 - The Doctor

In the 'performance of the year', Juliet Stevenson stars in the touring production of the five star smash hit.

On an ordinary day at a private hospital, a young woman fights for her life. A priest arrives to save her soul, but her doctor refuses him entry.

And in a divisive time, in a divided nation, a society takes sides.

Freely adapted from Arthur Schnitzler's Professor Bernhardi, the play is described as a 'provocative, wonderfully upsetting' whirlwind of gender, race and questions about identity.

Tuesday, 27 Sept – Saturday, Oct 1 - Noughts & Crosses

A captivating drama of love, revolution and what it means to grow up in a divided world, based on the book by award-winner Malorie Blackman and adapted by Sabrina Mahfouz.

Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond                                                                      

Until Oct 8 – Yellowman

This 'electrifying' revival has opened to rave reviews with praise for this 'sublime piece of theatre'.

Twenty years after it premiered and received a Pulitzer Prize nomination, Dael Orlandersmith's Yellowman, set in the 1960s Deep South, is a moving and deeply pertinent play for now.

Alma and Gene have grown up together. She dreams of a life beyond the confines of their small town. But when their friendship develops into something more serious, Gene's fate becomes tragically intertwined with hers and they can't escape the legacy of racism and the tensions within their own community.

OSO Arts Centre, Barnes

Sept 23-24 – Opera

A sequential trilogy of one-act operas, exploring the self we all find ourselves locked into.

Inspired by Jean-Paul Sartre's No Exit, the piece collides three fundamentally incompatible, emotionally flawed people.

*Barnes' beloved soprano and star of the OSO Piano Lounge series, Sofia Kirwan-Baez, hosts an evening of operatic delights.

* Jonathan Dove's 'Songs of Ariel' are interspersed with original settings by Jonny Danciger, as music and soundscape is created live by solo soprano, a microphone and digital effects.

* A woman sits alone in her room, desperately trying to win back her distant lover over a phone call. Emotions churn from tranquility to rage, frayed further by the faulty connection.

This event is presented as part of Opera Studio: Chamber Works - two days of intimate chamber opera events, curated by Director Jonny Danciger.

One Paved Court, Richmond

Until Sept 25 - Threads of Time: Eight Women Print Group Show

Eight Women Print is a collective formed during the lockdown. As the artists moved online, they adapted to new ways of creating and developing their individual and collective practices from their homes across the globe in India, Spain and the UK. Each member of the group has explored ideas and experiences that have resonated during the lockdown periods, both local and global, of how we have all adapted, and are still adapting, to different ways of living and being. Their own personal experiences of isolation, upheaval and anxiety as well as wider global experiences such as migration and conflict are explored.

The work will be predominantly printmaking, with sculptural and textile elements woven through the exhibition.

Turner's House, 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.
