Theatre & showsCroatia Magic Night: Live Magic Show in NicosiaFor one night only, the Cyprus Magic Society welcomes two working magicians from Croatia, Mister H and Kris, who fold their rather different styles into a single show of magic and mentalism. Expect impossible predictions, sleight of hand, a spot of mind-reading and plenty of audience participation, so the people in the seats are very much part of the act. The show runs for 90 minutes and is performed in English, with tickets from €15.Thu, 5 NovNicosia, Maskarini Theatre, LatsiaAges 13+€from €15
Workshops & classesFruit and Nut Bars and Apple-Print Trees: an Autumn Kids Cooking Club WorkshopThe young chefs of The Kids Cooking Club CY make healthy bars from dried fruit and nuts, then create wintry trees printed with apples.

For parentsChampis: Breaking the Ice Stand-Up ComedyChampis Damianou, one of Cyprus's best-loved stand-ups, is back with his second solo show, Breaking the Ice. He isn't running for president this time; instead he's doing what he does best — breaking the ice — with tales of his grandmother's complicated relationship with TikTok, why he's afraid of having children, how he became the Secretary-General of Cancellations, his rather particular reasons for hating Christmas, the best and worst hate comments he's received, a spell inside a prison and how comedy helps him through loss. Part stand-up, part therapy: honest, funny and at times closer to home than you'd expect. Around 80 minutes, in Cypriot Greek; in Nicosia the show plays Black Brick, starting at 20:30, with tickets from motioncomedy.com.6 – 20 Nov20:30Nicosia, Black BrickAges 15+
Theatre & showsThe 39 Steps in NicosiaFour actors, more than a hundred roles and not a moment to catch your breath: Theatro Lexi stages Patrick Barlow's The 39 Steps, adapted from John Buchan's novel and Alfred Hitchcock's film. Richard Hannay is drawn into a spy plot after a mysterious woman is murdered, and every attempt to clear his name lands him in deeper trouble. Characters are swapped at breakneck speed, so the suspense keeps tipping over into gloriously absurd noir comedy. Directed by Marina Vronti and performed in Greek in Makis Papadimitriou's translation, the show runs for 1 hour 25 minutes. Friday and Saturday performances begin at 20:00 and Sunday ones at 18:30, with tickets from €22.6 – 29 NovFri & Sat 8pm, Sun 6.30pmNicosia, Theatro Dentro, Nicosia€from €22
Theatre & showsThe End of the Thread: Music-Theatre Performance in NicosiaThe End of the Thread is a music-theatre production marking a hundred years of AKEL and the Popular Movement, told through the eyes of a working-class Cypriot family. A red thread passes from hand to hand and from one generation to the next, standing for a struggle that carries on for as long as it is handed down. The story runs from the early twentieth century to the present day, taking in persecution, sacrifice and the ideals of freedom, democracy and social justice. Theatre, music, choral singing and archive projections are woven together, with direction and text by Neoklis Neocleous and artistic direction by Koulis Theodorou. Curtain up is at 8pm; entry is free, but seats are limited, so it is wise to book a ticket in advance.Fri, 6 Nov8pmNicosia, Strovolos Municipal Theatre€Free

Six suspects, six motives and a great many laughs; directed by Giannis Kleideris, performed in Greek and running at 1 hour 30 minutes. Fridays and Saturdays at 20:30, Sundays at 19:00; tickets are on sale at €20, €15 for students, pensioners and the unemployed, and free for disabled visitors.6 – 15 NovFri and Sat 8.30pm, Sun 7pmNicosia, Melina Mercouri HallAges 15+€€20; concessions €15
