• Opera
• Theatre
Address: Jewry Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8SB Telephone: Box office: 01962 840440 Event: Così fan tutte - 2.30pm & 7.30pm - Mozart's Così fan tutte – A Comedy of Love, Lies and Lessons of Life Playful deception meets its match in Mozart's sparkling comic opera Così fan tutte, reminding us that love is rarely as simple — or as certain — as we'd like to believe. Two young officers make a reckless wager. Can their fiancées remain faithful when temptation comes knocking? With a mischievous plot hatched by a worldly friend, disguises, mistaken identities, and romantic entanglements spiral into a deliciously absurd tangle. Set to some of Mozart's most radiant and intricate music and sung in English to a translation by Amanda Holden, Così fan tutte blends razor-sharp wit with moments of truth and reflection in this vibrant production that proves Mozart knew the human heart all too well. English translation by Amanda Holden with additional material by the company. Venue's website: theatreroyalwinchester.co.uk Venue's Facebook: facebook.com/TRWinchester

Venue: The Arc map
Comedy
Address: Jewry Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8SB Telephone: 01962 398046 Event: Kevin Precious: The Reluctant Teacher - 7.30pm - Determined to get a “Grown Up Career” after years spent as a musician, Kevin trained as a Religious Studies Teacher, despite being an affirmed sceptic and non-believer. Whilst wrangling with disinterested kids in various Secondary Schools in Sussex during the day, Kevin increasingly pursued the business of stand-up comedy at night… inevitably something had to give. The show is a funny overview of the pitfalls and pratfalls that go with Kevin’s former profession of teaching; with a bit of pedagogical stuff (ooh-er) thrown in for good measure.

Venue: The Lights map
Theatre
Address: West Street, Andover, Hampshire, SP10 1AH Telephone: Box office: 01264 368368 Event: Parody of the Rings - 7.30pm - What happens when a cinema's Lord of the Rings marathon goes terribly wrong? At the local cinema, all hell breaks loose when the ushers misplace the DVDs of The Lord of the Rings trilogy – every single copy! With only the soundtracks left in hand, the team of hapless ushers must somehow improvise an entire three-film saga in front of a live audience. Get ready for an uproarious evening of comedy, chaos, and utter nonsense, as they attempt to recreate the epic tale of hobbits, elves, and orcs – without any visuals, any planning, or any clue what they're doing. Will Frodo ever make it to Mordor? Will Aragorn get crowned king? Will Gollum stop stealing the show? Will anyone even remember who’s supposed to be who?! It’s a show that’s more fun than a barrel of hobbits, and definitely more chaotic than a Gandalf speech. If you’ve ever wanted to see Gollum fight a battle with sound effects, or Gandalf desperately trying to remember what happens next, then you’re in for a hilarious treat!
