Turner's House, Twickenham

Until October 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.

Richmond Theatre

Until Saturday, Oct 1 - Noughts & Crosses

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

Sephy is a Cross and Callum is a Nought. Between Noughts and Crosses there are racial and social divides. A segregated society teeters on a volatile knife edge.

Tuesday, October 4 – October 15 - Noises Off

Felicity Kendal, Jonathan Coy, Matthew Kelly and Tracy-Ann Oberman star in the 40th anniversary production of one of the greatest British comedies ever written.

Hurtling along at breakneck speed, Noises Off follows the antics of a touring theatre company as they stumble their way through the fictional farce, Nothing On.

From the shambolic final rehearsals before opening night in Weston-Super-Mare, to a disastrous matinee in Ashton-Under-Lyme seen entirely, and hilariously silently, from backstage, before we share their final, brilliantly catastrophic performance.

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.

And meet Aubrey Everett, a would-be star determined to make his big comeback whatever the cost to his dignity.

Saturday, October 1 – Mountaineer Simon Yates

On the remote Siula Grande in Peru in June 1985, mountaineer Simon Yates found himself in a desperately unenviable position. He was slowly being pulled off the mountain face by his injured partner, Joe Simpson, dangling on the rope 50 metres below.

His decision to cut the rope saved both their lives in the epic of survival that followed and with the publication of the book 'Touching The Void', later film and stage play, both climbers became household names.

Come along and witness Simon's tireless journey from that mountain in Peru to some of the remotest on the planet.
