There are times, though, when sharpwitted George feels the burden of looking after Lennie, while gentle giant Lennie doesn’t realise his own strength… As they drift from job to job, trouble’s never far away, and before long it’s time to move on again. When the pair get work in Soledad, California, however, the dream looks set to become a reality. But a tragic turn of events threatens to destroy George and Lennie’s friendship and leaves George faced with an impossible choice… Venue's website: theatreroyalwinchester.co.uk Venue's Facebook: facebook.com/TRWinchester

• Workshop(s)
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.
