Address: Jewry Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8SB Telephone: Box office: 01962 840440 Event: National Theatre Live: The Misanthrope - 7pm - Award-winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) plays the title role in this razor-sharp reimagining of Molière’s classic dark comedy. 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: Sh!t-faced Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet - 7.30pm - The smash-hit, internationally acclaimed, award-winning, multi-sell-out phenomenon is back. The cast will present an unconventional, no-holds-barred interpretation of Romeo and Juliet, with a tipsily tragic take on William Shakespeare's most iconic roll call of characters: from a rat-arsed Romeo to a juiced-up Juliet, a trollied Tybalt or a mashed-up Mercutios, along with enough booze to sterilise a brewery floor. This will be a tragedy like no other — the cup overfloweth. Venue's website: theatreroyalwinchester.co.uk Venue's Facebook: facebook.com/TRWinchester

Address: Jewry Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8SB Telephone: Box office: 01962 840440 Event: Of Mice and Men - 1pm & 7.30pm - Set against the harsh backdrop of the Great Depression, Of Mice and Men is the story of George and Lennie, two friends with a simple dream: to own a farm and live off the fat of the land. 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

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.
