Rose Theatre's Noughts & Crosses

Sephy and Callum sit together on a beach. They are in love. It is forbidden.

Sephy is a Cross and Callum is a Nought. Between Noughts and Crosses there are racial and social divides. A segregated society teeters on a volatile knife edge. As violence breaks out, Sephy and Callum draw closer, but this is a romance that will lead them into terrible danger.

This gripping Romeo and Juliet story by acclaimed writer Malorie Blackman and adapted by Sabrina Mahfouz is a captivating drama of love, revolution and what it means to grow up in a divided world.

Friday night comedy at the Grey Horse

Welcome to the home of Kingston's original and longest running comedy night. 

A night of irresistible improv comedy from some of London's finest players. Kickstart the weekend with a razor-sharp, spontaneous, brand new and never-to-be-seen-again show that will leave you saying, like after ALL the best nights out, "you really had to be there…"

You'll be asked for suggestions which will be turned into unforgettable scenes, characters, and songs, all made up right there on the spot. Had a particularly eventful night out recently? They might just ask you about it…

Muybridge, Lego and Robotics Workshop at Kingston Museum

Inspired by Muybridge's most famous work, Beyond Blocks will host a robotics session at Kingston Museum this half-term. The session lets you build a LEGO horse for yourself, before attaching motors and learning programming to make it move.

The session is for children aged 7-11 and is designed to teach programming and engineering while being a fun and light-hearted event. Please note that children below the age of 7 will not be admitted to the session.

The session will take around 90 minutes. Participants can turn up at any time as long as they have 90 minutes left to build before the end of the session.

Russel Kane Live The Essex Variant!

Russell Kane's bringing to the Rose Theatre his gut-punch funny, searing, award-winning take on the two years we've just gone through. Hailed as the The Guardian's Number 1 comedy performance to come out of 2020 - this high-octane show brings nuclear-energy belly laughs and pant-wetting observations which prove laughter really is the best medicine.

The renowned comedian has two chart-topping, award-bagging podcasts: Man Baggage and BBC Radio 4's Evil Genius. He is a regular on Channel 4, BBC, and ITV: all the usual shows you see funny people on. He's also a writer, actor, and presenter. He drinks lots of coffee and is 'like that in real life'.
