Theatre & showsBrandy Sour: Bilingual Theatre ProductionTheatro AntiLogos stage Brandy Sour, adapted from Constantia Soteriou's award-winning novel and directed by Neoklis Neocleous. At its heart is the Ledra Palace β once one of Nicosia's most glamorous hotels, now standing abandoned on the Green Line yet etched for ever in Cypriot memory. Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot actors share the stage, performing in Greek and Turkish, dialects and all, with surtitles in both languages, and through a shared story they explore identity, history and the intricate mosaic of Cypriot life. Running time is about 70 minutes. In Nicosia it plays in the garden of the Goethe-Institut, inside the UN buffer zone right next to the Ledra Palace itself; curtain up at 20:00 or 21:00 depending on the night.

Make autumn magicalSee Halloween events βTheatre & showsThe Father by Florian Zeller at Theatro DentroFlorian Zeller's The Father won the MoliΓ¨re Award and went on to become the film that earned Anthony Hopkins his Best Actor Oscar. It follows a man whose mind is slowly slipping its moorings β faces blur, times and places overlap β and rather than simply watching, the audience is drawn into the confusion itself, with flashes of humour offering a welcome breath of air. Stavros Louras takes the lead under Giannis Leontaris's direction; the play runs for 90 minutes in Greek. Given its weighty subject, it's recommended for adults and mature teenagers. Curtain up at 20:30; tickets are on sale from β¬18.12 β 27 Oct8.30pm (12, 19, 20, 26, 27 October)Nicosia, Theatro Dentroβ¬from β¬18
Theatre & showsVigil for Pentheus: Reflections on the End of CivilisationA piece of theatrical research that sets out from Euripides' image of the torn body of Pentheus and travels through the dark forces running beneath human history. Philosophy, religion, myth and tragedy are woven together with paintings and historical documents, all gathered around Walter Benjamin's Angel of History, inspired by Paul Klee's Angelus Novus. Eirini Andronikou's production first played at the Adios Horos Festival in Athens; two performers and a live musician hold the stage for 1 hour 10 minutes, and it's very much one for grown-ups. Starts at 20:30; tickets from β¬15.13 β 27 Oct8.30pm on Tuesdays (13, 20, 27 October)Nicosia, Aigaia Theatreβ¬from β¬15
Theatre & showsTo Gala (The Milk): Contemporary Greek Drama, 2nd SeasonVasilis Katsikonouris's The Milk is back for a second season, with the very same cast that won audiences over last year, directed once again by Marina Vronti. One of the landmark works of modern Greek drama, it speaks with rare tenderness and unflinching honesty about family, migration, being different, fragile minds β and the deep human need to be loved and to belong somewhere. Performed in Greek and running at 1 hour 45 minutes, it's recommended for teenagers and adults. The opening nights sold out, so an extra performance has been squeezed in. Starts at 20:00; tickets from β¬22.13 β 24 Oct20:00Nicosia, Theatro Dentroβ¬from β¬22

For parentsThe Effect by Lucy Prebble at Satiriko TheatreSatiriko Theatre gives Lucy Prebble's The Effect its Cyprus premiere β the play she wrote for the National Theatre in London, winner of the Critics' Circle award for Best New Play.

Directed by Evita Ioannou; ninety minutes without an interval, in Greek, with English surtitles at the 29 October performance.

Discover & learnMessages on Metal: A Timeless Dialogue with CyprusMessages on Metal brings a substantial part of the Alpha Bank Numismatic Collection, more than 11,000 coins strong, to Cyprus for the first time. On display are 136 coins: 110 from Alpha Bank, 23 from the museum's own holdings and three from the A. G. Leventis Gallery. The show is arranged in three sections, Transactions, Narration and Symbolism, tracing how coins were used, the stories and figures stamped on them, and what they said about power and identity over the centuries. Seen together, they place Cyprus firmly on the political, trading and cultural routes of the Eastern Mediterranean. Lectures, guided tours and activities for families with children run alongside. Doors are open Tuesday to Sunday from 10.00 to 16.30, and the museum is closed on Mondays and public holidays.16 Oct β 10 JanTueβSun 10:00β16:30, closed MondaysNicosia, Leventis Municipal Museum of Nicosia
