About NT Live: Hamlet

By William Shakespeare

Directed by Robert Hastie

Olivier Award-winner Hiran Abeysekera (Life of Pi) is Hamlet in this fearless, contemporary take on Shakespeare’s famous tragedy. Trapped between duty and doubt, surrounded by power and privilege, young Prince Hamlet dares to ask the ultimate question – you know the one.

National Theatre Deputy Artistic Director, Robert Hastie (Standing at the Sky’s Edge, Operation Mincemeat) directs this sharp, stylish and darkly funny reimagining.

10cc

About 10cc

One of the UK’s most innovative and influential bands, 10cc, have announced their return to the UK concert scene in 2026 with the typically tongue-in-cheek ‘And Another Bloody Greatest Hits Tour’ – celebrating a genre-defying repertoire that continues to captivate audiences across the world.

Expect a hit-packed setlist including era-defining anthems like ‘Rubber Bullets’, ‘Donna’, ‘Art for Art’s Sake’, ‘Dreadlock Holiday’, and, of course, the eternal ‘I’m Not In Love’ -recently revisited by Gouldman and fellow co-founder Kevin Godley in a moving BBC Radio 2 Piano Room session, accompanied by the BBC Concert Orchestra to mark the 50th anniversary of their classic album ‘The Original Soundtrack’.

10cc

“The tour title is not an expression of exasperation, but a humorous nod to the fact we’re out doing it again,” says Gouldman. “We’ve had the Ultimate Greatest Hits Tour, then the Ultimate Ultimate tour and couldn’t add a third. Our audiences know what to expect – hit after hit after hit, with a few variations.”

Opening Act – Andy Park

Multi-instrumentalist Andy is the only musician in 10cc’s history to stand-in for two band members – Rick Fen and Iain Hornal – on different occasions. With Iain, it was for the band’s first US tour in more than 30 years, and then through the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand in 2024 and most of 2025

Aside from his work with 10cc and Heart Full of Songs, Andy is a key performer with his own The Ultimate Classic Rock Show, where he plays multiple instruments and is one of the lead vocalists.

Exhibition on Screen: Turner and Constable
2026-03-15 19:00 | The Theatre Chipping Norton, 2 Spring Street, Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, OX7 5NL
Exhibition on Screen: Turner and Constable

About Exhibition on Screen: Turner and Constable

Celebrating the 250th anniversary of their births, this unmissable new documentary explores Turner and Constable’s intertwined lives and legacies alongside the groundbreaking Tate exhibition.

Two of Britain’s greatest painters, J.M.W. Turner and John Constable, were also the greatest of rivals. Born within a year of each other, both used landscape painting to reflect the changing world around them.

Tate Britain is bringing these two greats together for a groundbreaking exhibition, in London from November 2025 to April 2026, and Exhibition on Screen once again has exclusive and privileged access to bring their extraordinary art and remarkable stories to the big screen in February, so that you can enjoy both film and exhibition together.

Discover unexpected sides to both artists with intimate views of sketchbooks and personal items and insights from leading experts.

Turner’s blazing sunsets and sublime scenes from his travels and Constable’s idealised depictions of beloved places from home whipped the public of the time into a frenzy of enthusiasm.

Constable represents the very best of the old school of realism and pastoral nostalgia; Turner, an exciting new way of depicting emotion and dreamlike impressions. Critics compared their starkly different styles to a clash of ‘fire and water’.

Don’t miss this opportunity to see these greats side-by-side, as they so often were in life, on the big screen for the first time.

Josh Widdicombe: Not My Cup of Tea

About Josh Widdicombe: Not My Cup of Tea

Josh Widdicombe is back on tour, not again!

By now he has almost certainly mastered the art of stand-up, either that or he has wasted the last 15 years of his life. Come along and decide for yourself. Expect it to be shorter and with lower production values than Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, but funnier and with more references to tea.

Josh Widdicombe: Not My Cup of Tea

Josh co-hosts the hugely popular podcast Parenting Hell with Rob Beckett, which has somehow become so popular that they undertook a live arena tour in 2023 and released a book that topped the Sunday Times Bestseller Charts.

He’s co-hosted over 30 series of the multi-award-winning Channel 4 series The Last Leg, is a team captain on Sky Max’s Rob Beckett’s Smart TV, and co-hosts Sky’s Hold The Front Page. And he has an almost complete collection of Panini football sticker books.

Michelle de Swarte: The Afters

About Michelle de Swarte: The Afters

Michelle de Swarte comes to Oxford with her trademark razor-sharp wit and no-holds-barred storytelling.

After the main event’s highs and lows, Michelle wonders what to do after the party.

She’s heading to the afters for some brutally honest oversharing about life before social media, trying to scrape the barrel of youth, how to know when too much filler is too much, breaking down the cost difference of ‘party powder’ to powdered greens, whether tarot card readers replace actual therapy and when is a good time to pregame perimenopause.

Michelle is here to share all the fu@k ups, so you don’t have to.

Star and writer-creator of BBC’s critically acclaimed Spent, Michelle de Swarte has been seen on Sky/HBO’s The Baby, Amazon’s Backstage with Katherine Ryan and The Duchess on Netflix, as well as Live at the Apollo and Never Mind the Buzzcocks. Michelle was recently named one of Variety’s 10 Brits to Watch for 2025.

About More Than A Mum

Join Susie for a hilarious one-woman comedy show that dives into what it is to be a mother.

Have any of us worked it out? Who has the answer? Should we let our children swear? Are we being financially manipulated into buying V-Bucks? Is it important that they know what a gng bng is?

After months of painstaking research (and therapy) come along and find out what Susie has discovered. From tackling the big stuff, sweating the small stuff and applying Sudocrem in places you never thought you would have to; Susie tackles it all and would really like it if you would join her (please)!

In what can only be described as a midlife crisis/parenting spiral, witness one woman’s quest to find the answer to the question most mothers ask at some point; ‘am I a good Mum? Can I be more than a Mum?’
