Everybody to Kenmure Street

When the Home Office sent vehicles to Glasgow’s Kenmure Street to potentially deport some residents, everyone from the activist known as Van Man to a local imam to various schoolchildren spontaneously blocked the street. This documentary, winner of a special jury award at Sundance, tells the story of eight extraordinary hours in UK protest history.

Renée Rapp
AO Arena, Manchester, 18 March; OVO Arena, London, 19 & 20 March; touring to 22 March
Last summer, actor and proper pop star Rapp’s second album Bite Me arrived chock full of personality-packed bops and crashed into the UK No 1 spot. On this arena tour expect her to tear through the likes of recent brat-pop smash Leave Me Alone. Michael Cragg

Wu-Tang Clan
The O2, London, 17 March & 18 March; Co-op Live, Manchester, 19 March
The hugely influential hip-hop collective arrive in the UK as part of their Wu-Tang Forever: The Final Chamber tour. With a focus on fan service, expect deep cuts, rarely performed tracks and peerless classics such as Protect Ya Neck, Triumph and the Top 10 head-knocker Gravel Pit. MC

Mark Lockheart Shapeshifter Trio
The Hive, Shrewsbury, 14 March; 1000 Trades, Birmingham, 20 March; touring to 21 March
Mark Lockheart, the UK saxophonist-composer, has been a founder member of two great European bands: the innovative Loose Tubes orchestra and the unique global-jazz small group Polar Bear. Now he launches Shapeshifter, a typically empathic, improv-leaning trio with subtle partners Huw V Williams (bass) and Jay Davis (drums). John Fordham

Royal Opera, Wagner’s Siegfried
Royal Opera House, London, 17 March to 6 April
Opera doesn’t get more ambitious – or gripping – than Wagner’s four-part Ring cycle. New productions are a massive undertaking. Following the acclaimed first two instalments of Australian director Barrie Kosky’s new Royal Opera staging, Siegfried features German über-tenor Andreas Schager in the title role. He heads a superb cast conducted by Antonio Pappano. Flora Willson

Going out: Art

In Bloom
Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 19 March to 16 August
A portrait of the 17th-century gardener Sir John Tradescant, whose collection helped create the Ashmolean Museum, is one of the curious and beautiful images in this survey of flowers in art, science and trade. Other delights range from Iznik floral ceramics to botanical drawings and paintings. Spring’s here!

Hokusai and Hiroshige
Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester, 14 March to 15 November
The scintillating masterpieces of Japan’s two greatest printmakers crossed continents and revolutionised art. Van Gogh and Whistler were among the modernists who collected and revered them. These artists knew nothing of the society and religion that Hiroshige and Hokusai depicted but found them liberating – as we still do.

Vanbrugh
Sir John Soane’s Museum, London to 28 June
The Baroque genius Sir John Vanbrugh found Britain still dominated by half-timbered houses and gave it stupendous palaces that still dazzle in their exploration of extremes of architectural spectacle. Even if you’ve never visited his masterpiece Castle Howard you’ve seen it on screen, in Brideshead, Bridgerton and more.

Sarah Morris
White Cube Mason’s Yard, London, to 9 May
This rigorous abstract painter has been creating grids, networks and systems of line and colour since the 1990s. New York skylines and the Manhattan street plan echo in her work just as in the late paintings of Mondrian. She’s coolly, relentlessly modern, and you can picture her work in penthouses. Jonathan Jones

Janine Harouni
Newcastle upon Tyne, 19 March; Glasgow, 20 March; touring to 22 May
The Staten Island-raised, London-based standup performed her last show heavily pregnant: now she’s back on tour telling tales from the frontline of motherhood. This Is What You Waited For contrasts her own childrearing style with her parents’ techniques in a series of clever, cathartic and characteristically slick gags. Rachel Aroesti

Teeth ’N’ Smiles
Duke of York’s theatre, London, to 6 June
Daniel Raggett’s revival marks 50 years since David Hare’s play premiered at the Royal Court. Rebecca Lucy Taylor – AKA Self Esteem – stars as singer Maggie, combing through the wreckage of her career in one boozy night.

Noughts & Crosses
New Wolsey theatre, Ipswich, 17 March to 21 March; touring to 23 May
Sabrina Mahfouz’s powerful adaptation of Malorie Blackman’s modern take on Romeo and Juliet – here revived by Esther Richardson – tours the UK. Effie Ansah and James Arden star as the two teenagers struggling to live and love. Miriam Gillinson

Alexander Whitley Dance Company
Sadler’s Wells East, London, 18 March to 21 March
A double bill (The Rite of Spring/Mirror) from a choreographer intensely involved in the interactions between art and technology. Whitley uses live motion-capture and AI in the creation of his works, which in turn critique the place of tech in our lives and our relationships with intelligent machines. Lyndsey Winship
