Richmond Theatre

Sept 5-10 – Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

An all-star cast led by Hayley Mills, Rula Lenska and Paul Nicholas in the stage play based on the Sunday Times best-seller and film.

The joyous comedy is all about taking risks, finding love and embracing second chances, even in the most surprising of places.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel takes us on a journey to India with an eclectic group of British retirees as they embark on a new life. The luxury residence is far from the opulence they were promised, but as their lives begin to intertwine, they are charmed in unexpected and life-changing ways.

Also featuring in the show are Andy de la Tour, Rekha John-Cheriyan and Marlene Sidaway.

Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond

Sept 5 – Oct 8 – Yellowman

Twenty years after it premiered and received a Pulitzer Prize nomination, Dael Orlandersmith's Yellowman, set in the 1960s Deep South, is a moving and deeply pertinent play for now.

Alma and Gene have grown up together. She dreams of a life beyond the confines of their small town. But when their friendship develops into something more serious, Gene's fate becomes tragically intertwined with hers and they can't escape the legacy of racism and the tensions within their own community.

OSO Arts Centre, Barnes

Sept 6 – 11 - A Hundred Words For Snow

Tatty Hennessy's play is about being an explorer in a melting world.

Rory's dad was an explorer. Well, not literally. Literally, he was a geography teacher. But inside, she knows, he was Bear Grylls. And when he dies suddenly in an accident, Rory knows she needs to make one last expedition.

With a plastic compass and Dad's ashes at her side, Rory sets off in the footsteps of all the dead beardy explorers before her, to get Dad to the North Pole. Before Mum finds out they've gone.

Eel Pie Club, London Road, Twickenham,

Thurs, Sept 1 - Mud Morganfield (son of Muddy Waters)

The eldest son of the legendary Muddy Waters, Mud was brought up surrounded by many of the finest musicians in the Blues.

His style and singing is firmly in the best traditions of Chicago blues, and he is backed by some of the best musicians playing today.

His big, powerful voice conveys deep emotional resonance on the slow numbers and good old fashioned testosterone-laden strut on those classic shuffles.

Turner's House in Twickenham

July 9 – Oct 31 - Between the Sheets: Turner's Nudes

There have been rave reviews in the national press for this exhibition concentrating on a rarely seen side of Britain's greatest artist.

Loved as the master of landscapes and seascapes such as The Fighting Temeraire, Hannibal Crossing the Alps and Norham Castle, few know that Turner's sketchbooks also contain depictions of the female form.

Yet Turner was a compulsive recorder of his life and travels, and produced drawings and watercolours of models, sexual encounters, literary fantasies, and his lovers such as Sophia Booth.

This small-scale exhibition is one of the first to look at Turner's engagement with the naked female form, specifically ithin intimate and erotic contexts and provides invaluable insight into the man, and his attitude to and relationship with women.

This exhibition is possible thanks to a generous loan from Tate.
