For parentsOne Night in Paradise: Greek Comedy TheatreLoris Loizidis's comedy launches its tour of Cyprus at the Latsia Municipal Theatre. At the gates of Heaven, St Peter is taking down a new arrival's details — until the Devil himself turns up to claim his share, prompting a riotous flashback through the night before, full of recognisably Cypriot characters, quick wit and plenty of banter with the audience. Beneath the laughs lies a warm-hearted message about kindness, forgiveness and the age-old tussle between good and evil.

'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.

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
