Until April 16 – Tom Fool by Franz Xaver Kroetz.

A dark and unnervingly funny play about how capitalism creeps into the minutiae of one family's life.

Every night Martha listens to the minute details of husband Otto's day at the factory. He's a man with big dreams but is stuck in a job where he feels like a cog in the machine.

Their teenage son Ludwig just wishes he had a job, or at least his own space, far far away from his parents.

When money goes missing, a family on the brink hurtles over the edge, and Martha has to decide whether she will stay to pick up the pieces.

Until April 24 - The Desire to be Desired: Simon Klein

A new exhibition of oil paintings and works on paper in a variety of media by Simon Klein.

Mary Wallace Theatre, Twickenham

Until April 23 – Henry IV Parts 1 and 2, from Richmond Shakespeare Society.

Moving from comedy to tragedy, an ensemble of twenty-two actors brings this exhilarating exploration of familial ties, national division, treachery and war to life across two epic parts.

Henry IV Part 1 - Henry is a troubled king, beset by guilt having deposed his predecessor, Richard II.

Now rebel lords are rallying against him led by the charismatic Hotspur, while his own son, Prince Hal, frequents taverns across London in the company of the merry but dissolute Falstaff.

As the country heads for civil war, will Hal put his riotous behaviour behind him?

Henry IV Part 2 - King Henry's health is declining, the rebels are turning on each other, and further violence threatens the war-torn nation.

In the idyllic countryside, Falstaff indulges in reminiscence and longs for the fighting to be over.

But will his 'sweet Prince Hal' return to join him in the taverns of Eastcheap, or finally face his duty as future king?
