Theatre & showsMountains on Stage: Winter Edition Film Festival in NicosiaThe international mountain film festival returns with its winter programme: three films on trail running, mountaineering and snow. 'The Struggle' follows Benjamin Védrines on a solo winter climb of the fabled Drus face in the Mont Blanc massif, where the doubts behind the records come out to play. 'Blandine' is a candid portrait of Blandine L'Hirondel, a gynaecologist who discovered at 27 that she had what it takes for the great ultra-trails. And the short 'Kids' joins three young snowboarders for whom deep Japanese powder becomes one enormous playground. All films are shown in their original language with English subtitles; it starts at 19:30, doors at 19:00.Fri, 4 Dec7.30pmNicosia, Pantheon Theatre

For parentsA Monday to Die For: English Comedy in NicosiaA Monday to Die For is a brand-new English-language comedy from Cut the Drama Productions, and every penny from its four performances goes to the Blind School, for a new main hall, and to the Nicosia Red Cross, for wheelchairs. Ryan runs an office in the heart of London selling investments that are rather too good to be true, while he and his wife Laura have agreed that on Mondays the rules of marriage simply don't apply. Add a party-loving secretary called Kathy, her husband Sam and his peculiar habits, Freddy the most gullible multi-millionaire alive, and a parrot that rings for ambulances, and chaos is more or less guaranteed. Improbably, part of the plot is drawn from a true story. Written by Anthony T. Ashiotis and directed by Elmos Neocleous, it runs for 1 hour 40 minutes in English, starting at 20:00. Tickets start at €10, with seats also at €15 and €20.9 – 14 Dec8pmNicosia, Wherehaus612 Theatre, NicosiaAges 15+€from €10
