3. Richard Herring Lord of the Dance Settee
A veteran of the comedy scene, Lord of the Dance Settee is Richard’s eleventh stand up show in eleven years. Richard will be pondering whether the term cool comedian is an oxymoron, how fun bouncing on the sofa is, and how his whole career has been an attempt to recreate a piece of slapstick comedy he came up with when he was 16. Will he be able to recreate his top joke or is his older body not quite up to it? Tickets are £15, available online at www.nordenfarm.org or by calling the box office on 01628 788997.
7 March, 8pm, Norden Farm Centre for the Arts, Altwood Road, Maidenhead.

4. Arcadia
In a stately home in 19th Century rural Derbyshire, secret desires and professional rivalries take hold of the residents of Sidley Park as Thomasina, a talented pupil, makes a startling discovery well ahead of her time, whilst in the present day academics Hannah and Bernard attempt to piece together the fragments of truth that tell her story. One of the greatest plays of the last century, the Olivier Award-winning Arcadia explores the delicate relationship between past and present, blending history with actuality as the focus drifts from 1809 to now, and back again.
