Othello @ The Oxford Playhouse
It’s Shakespeare, you know the drill – sex, jealousy, murder, tragedy, etc. Performed by theatre company, Frantic Assembly, who The Times deemed ‘innovative and progressive’, so it must be worth a watch.
When: Tuesday – Saturday
Where: Oxford Playhouse
Details: Here
Functions on the Low @ Carbon
Oxford’s first student-run grime night promises to bring the noise. With an array of DJs and a weighty soundsystem this is not one to be missed.
When: Tuesday
Where: Carbon

Straight to Camera @ Modern Art Oxford
Modern Art Oxford probably doesn’t get as much of a look in on the Hotlist as it should do. We will rectify that. But in the meantime, head down and have a look at their latest exhibition of films presenting performances made for camera.
When: Thursday
Where: Modern Art Oxford
Details: Here
Bloody Knuckles Returns @ Carbon
Saunter on down to Carbon to once again celebrate the life and works of the late Frankie Knuckles with some old-school house and legal highs.
