Telling the truth isn’t always that simple. Alice, a brilliant novelist, despises the carefully constructed lies of modern society. But the more she challenges those around her, the fiercer the backlash becomes. Soon, she must confront the price of speaking her truth in a world that would rather silence her. Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Indhu Rubasingham directs Martin Crimp’s (Cyrano de Bergerac) highly anticipated play.

Address: Jewry Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8SB Telephone: Box office: 01962 840440 Event: Masterclass: Physical Theatre Comedy & Improv Workshop (Darryl J Carrington) - 6.30pm - A practical, non-verbal session led by clown and comedian Darryl J Carrington. The focus is on using the body to communicate clearly and find comedy without relying on words. Participants will work with simple props and everyday objects, learning how small physical choices, timing, and attention can turn ordinary moments into something funny and engaging. A key part of the workshop is how to invite the audience into the play — noticing consent, responding honestly, and building connection with care rather than forcing interaction. Through straightforward exercises and improvisation, performers develop confidence, awareness, and a stronger sense of play, making work that feels open, human, and genuinely connected to the people watching.

Address: 3 St Pauls Hill, Winchester, Hampshire, SO22 5AE Telephone: 01962 867795 Event: Sweet Unrest + The Whiskey State + Slaughterhouse Clive + Wednesday Works - Doors 7.30pm - London-based chaos merchants Sweet Unrest have left audiences pleasantly shellshocked since forming in 2023, a moment that was only possible after frontman Jack River got sober. The band has since become his lifeline, a relentless creative outlet where destructive instincts are channeled into music and music videos. Self-proclaiming the genre ‘Gritpop’, there’s a constant creative conflict at their core – Jack’s insistence that every song carry a poetry of its own pulling against the band’s instinct for gut-punch immediacy. It’s this tension that gives Sweet Unrest their distinctive sound, and fuels their unpredictable live shows, forever teetering on the edge of beautiful collapse.

• Workshop(s)
Address: Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 9LS Telephone: 01962 857275 (box office) Event: The Gospel Experience - 7.30pm - The Gospel Experience is an evening where an entire audience learns a song together in three-part harmony, rehearses it, and performs it live. Along the way, Tim shares the history behind Gospel music: where it came from, what it carries, and why it matters. The teaching is warm, clear, and genuinely fun. You don’t have to read music and nobody is left behind. This is a great night out if you want to have a proper sing with your friends. You don’t have to be a confident singer, and everyone is welcome. It works equally well for choirs looking for something a bit different, or for churchgoers who want to experience Winchester Cathedral in a fresh way. There is a 30-minute interval built in, which is the perfect opportunity to get a drink, get to know the people around you, and enjoy being somewhere beautiful. By the end of the evening, you will have achieved something you will be proud of. People consistently leave these events surprised: by the music, by the history, and by the community connection.
