2 COMEDYKaty Brand: I Was A Teenage Christian, Spa Centre, Leamington, June 16The comical and thought-provoking story of a woman’s adolescent dalliance with evangelical Christianity is an exploration of Katy’s self-imposed conversion and total immersion into a particular manifestation of the faith. One Sunday, aged 13, Katy went to a local church service and became a fundamentalist Christian. From then on she attended church four times a week. She describes herself at that age as an “obnoxious” and “self-important”, but was at least certain she was going to heaven. Now she’s not so sure. Katy will re-live her glory days of certainty, judgement and unrequited love while trying to figure out what was going on in her own head.Details: www.royalspacentreandtownhall.co.uk

3 THEATREUnder the Summer Skies: The Proposal and The WeddingDream Factory, Warwick, June 16 and 23The young talents at Playbox Theatre present two Chekhov one-act farces, showing the sometimes bleak playwright at his farcical best in plays exploring money, land, marriage and larger than life characters as their near-hysterical situations boil over. The productions are directed by Mary King and Stewart McGill.Details: www.playboxtheatre.com

4 PHOTOGRAPHYThe Rooftop Gallery at Ginger, The Old Iron Yard, Warwick, Thursdays to Sundays, June 17 to July 2Challenging conventional views of landscapes, this photography exhibition by Rob Shuttleworth highlights the human impact on the urban and rural scene. From a lichen-covered dead tree in a commercial forest to the remains of a trawler abandoned in a pristine bay, from the graffiti-covered bridge on a Midlands canal to new shiny city towers, the exhibition showcases the surprising beauty of our changing environment. Visitors will be challenged to consider their perception of what is truly natural, our relationship with change and how we perceive landscape. There will be a daily slide show and the photographer will be on hand to talk about his work.Details: warwickshireopenstudios.org/summer/2017/robert-shuttleworth
