Address: Malthouse Lane, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP2 7RA Telephone: 01722 320333 Event: Welcome To Thebes - 7pm - In partnership with Wiltshire College and University Centre, our Wiltshire Creative Academy students present their final performance of the year. Set in the present day but inspired by ancient myth, Welcome To Thebes explores the struggles of Eurydice, the first democratic president of a war-torn Thebes, who seeks peace without the support of Theseus, the wealthy leader of Athens. As the threat of insurrection looms and a dictator's body remains unburied, the play passionately examines the clash between the world's richest and poorest nations in the aftermath of war. This is an amateur performance by Wiltshire Creative Academy. Venue's website: wiltshirecreative.co.uk/whats-on/category/salisbury-playhouse Venue's Facebook: facebook.com/salisburyplayhouseofficial

It turned out that he had testicular cancer and one month later he was lying in hospital waiting to have his murderous gonad removed. Would he survive? (No spoilers!). For a comedian who had done a whole show on male genitalia (Talking Cock) and written a book about toxic masculinity (The Problem With Men) this felt like some cruel trick of fate. With extra dates added in 2025 for his much-anticipated return to stand-up after six years, Richard talks bollocks and answers the question on everyone's lips: Is a severed gonad in a jar a fitting prize to bring in for Taskmaster?

Address: Malthouse Lane, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP2 7RA Telephone: 01722 320333 Event: Songs of the Bulbul - 7.30pm - Birdsong is ephemeral – like dance, it exists only in the moment— sung once, then lost to time. Nightingales, or “Bulbuls”, hold a special place in Persian culture, with their song representing a spiritual seeker, yearning for union with the divine. Songs of the Bulbul, a new dance work by Aakash Odedra with choreography by Rani Khanam and music by Rushil Ranjan, is inspired by the ancient Sufi myth of a bulbul captured and held in captivity. The beauty of this songbird’s melody serves as a metaphor for the fleeting moments of dance and an artist’s life. Rooted in the expansive music, dance, and poetry traditions of Sufism, this new work by two of the most outstanding Sufi Kathak artists performing in the world today emerges as a sensitive dialogue between the ferocious physicality of Kathak and the spiritual journey of Sufism, a path seeking unity with the Divine.
