Going out: <\/strong>Cinema<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Testament of Ann Lee<\/strong>
Out now<\/em>
In Mona Fastvold\u2019s critically acclaimed drama, Amanda Seyfried shakes things up as the founder of the restorationist Christian sect the United Society of Believers in Christ\u2019s Second Appearing. More commonly known as the Shakers, the egalitarian ecstatic worship group coalesced round the visionary female leader in the 18th century.<\/p>\n

Scream 7<\/strong>
Out now<\/em>
The Kevin Williamson-scripted Scream films (1, 2, 4) are probably the best in the franchise, and this time he not only writes but directs the antics of Ghostface et al. Neve Campbell, David Arquette, Matthew Lillard and Courteney Cox all make appearances, regardless of whether you thought their characters were dead or not.<\/p>\n

Sir\u00e2t<\/strong>
Out now<\/em>
In the deserts of southern Morocco, a man searches for his missing daughter, enlisting the help of a group of partygoers who tell of a rave deep in the desert where perhaps she can be found. \u00d3liver Laxe won the Cannes jury prize for this genre-defying drama, in which rave culture and survival thriller collide.<\/p>\n

Glasgow film festival<\/strong>
Various venues, to 8 March<\/em>
The audience-friendly film festival continues, and closes with James McAvoy\u2019s feelgood directorial debut, California Schemin\u2019, based on the true story of the Scottish rappers who successfully pretended (for a while anyway) to be from California. Catherine Bray<\/em><\/p>\n

MGK<\/strong>
<\/em>5<\/em> to 12<\/em> March; tour starts London<\/em>
The US artist formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly brings his hyper blend of rock, pop and hip-hop to various arenas in support of last year\u2019s Bob Dylan-approved (no, really) Lost Americana album. As subtle as a sledgehammer, expect a cacophony of pummelling riffs, huge choruses and stylised moshing. Michael Cragg<\/em><\/p>\n

London Symphony Orchestra\/Tarmo Peltokoski\/Yuja Wang<\/strong>
Barbican Hall, London, <\/em>1 March<\/em>
Finnish 20th-century composer Einojuhani <\/strong>Rautavaara was hugely prolific, but his music is rarely programmed in the UK, which makes megastar pianist Yuja Wang\u2019s performance of his Piano Concerto No 1 with the London SO a hot ticket. Flora Willson<\/em><\/p>\n

Marius Neset<\/strong>
Ronnie Scott\u2019s, London, <\/em>4 March<\/em>
Norwegian saxophonist\/composer Marius Neset has been a creative firebrand of European jazz since his startling emergence 15 years ago, fusing the flat-out sax power of New York postbop with the ethereal delicacies of the Nordic ambient jazz scene \u2013 and his exciting quartet, which includes drum star Anton Eger, is world-class. John Fordham<\/em><\/p>\n

Lucy Rose<\/strong>
Gateshead, <\/em>28 February<\/em>; Manchester, <\/em>1 March<\/em>; London, <\/em>4 March<\/em>; Birmingham, <\/em>5 March<\/em>; Bristol, <\/em>6 March<\/em>
After battling health issues, English singer-songwriter Lucy Rose returns to the live circuit for her first tour in seven years. It\u2019s a delayed chance to showcase 2024\u2019s This Ain\u2019t the Way You Go Out album, as well as debuting new songs including January\u2019s undulating Scared of Loving Wild Again.

<\/svg><\/span>Duo lingo \u2026 A Handsome Couple by Rose Wylie.<\/span> Photograph: Rose Wylie\/David Zwirner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Rose Wylie<\/strong>
Royal Academy of Arts, London, <\/em>28 February<\/em> to 19 April<\/em>
The painter they couldn\u2019t keep down gets free rein to strut her exuberant, unedited stuff. Wylie has a psychedelic sense of colour and a massive comic appetite for life. Her art is a vibrant carnival. But do all her grand hilarities leave you satisfied or hungover? Drink deep and decide.<\/p>\n

Giants<\/strong>
National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh, to 14 September<\/em>
Look out it\u2019s the Meg! The giant shark, Otodus megalodon, which swam in the world\u2019s oceans from about 23m years ago until 3.6m years ago, is one of the massive creatures this exhibition recreates, using modern models to bring to life the period after the dinosaurs became extinct.<\/p>\n

Don McCullin<\/strong>
The Holburne Museum, Bath, to 4 May<\/em>
There is an eerie fascination to broken statues. When ancient Roman sculpture was first excavated in the Renaissance, it was usually restored to make it complete. But gradually people saw the tragic beauty of damaged antiquities. War photographer McCullin\u2019s images of maimed Roman art clearly mirror the modern violence he has seen.<\/p>\n

Chiharu Shiota<\/strong>
Hayward Gallery, London, to 3 May<\/em>
Everyone loves a spectacular installation that plunges you into its world of colour and mystery \u2013 I am trying not to use the word \u201cimmersive\u201d, but damn, I did. Shiota gathers constellations of real, everyday objects from keys to beds to door frames and tangles them in vast webs of wool. Jonathan Jones<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/svg><\/span>Bearded theories \u2026 Pierre Novellie.<\/span> Photograph: Tristram Kenton\/The Guardian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pierre Novellie<\/strong>
<\/em>28 February<\/em> to 31 May; tour starts Brighton<\/em>
When it comes to back-to-basics observational comedy (no overarching themes, no heartstring-tugging payoff) vanishingly few can outdo this South African-born standup. Novellie\u2019s latest show, You Sit There, I\u2019ll Stand Here, reinvigorates well-worn topics \u2013 from dishwasher stacking to airport behaviour to house moves \u2013 with meticulously engineered and reliably side-splitting routines. Rachel Aroesti<\/em><\/p>\n

Ballet Black at 25<\/strong>
Linbury theatre, Royal Opera House, London, <\/em>3<\/em> to 7 March, then touring<\/em>
The 25th anniversary of Cassa Pancho\u2019s Ballet Black is celebrated with a double bill featuring Ingoma, by Mthuthuzeli November, inspired by the 1946 South African miners\u2019 strike, plus a joyful new work for the company by Hope Boykin, who was a longtime dancer with the Alvin Ailey company in New York. Lyndsey Winship<\/em><\/p>\n

One Day<\/strong>
The Royal Lyceum, Edinburgh, to 19 April<\/em>
There\u2019s a playful and soulful creative team behind this musical adaptation of David Nicholls\u2019s much-loved novel \u2013 with writing from David Greig, direction from Max Webster and music and lyrics from US band Johnnyswim. Actors Jamie Muscato and Sharon Rose bring Dex and Em\u2019s love story to life. Miriam Gillinson<\/em><\/p>\n

The Manningtree Witches<\/strong>
Mercury theatre, Colchester, <\/em>28 February<\/em> to 14 March<\/em>
<\/strong>Based on AK Blakemore\u2019s novel, The Manningtree Witches is set in 1643 Essex and tells the true story of England\u2019s first witchfinder general. But what of the women he killed? From Ava Pickett, whose debut play, 1536, was such a blinder. MG<\/em><\/p>\n

Vladimir<\/strong>
Netflix, <\/em>5 March<\/em>
Rachel Weisz is an English professor who becomes dangerously infatuated with her new colleague (One Day\u2019s Leo Woodall) in this erotic thriller about desire, consent and power dynamics, adapted by Julia May Jonas from her own 2022 novel. John Slattery (Mad Men) and Ellen Robertson complete the cast.<\/p>\n

Molly vs the Machines<\/strong>
Channel 4, <\/em>5 March<\/em>, 9pm<\/em>
Eight years ago, 14-year-old Molly Russell took her own life. Ever since, her father, Ian, has been attempting to hold those he believes are responsible \u2013 namely, the social media platforms that fed Molly horrific content about suicide \u2013 to account. This film documents his efforts while explaining the harm the internet is doing to us all.<\/p>\n

Young Sherlock<\/strong>
Prime Video, <\/em>4 March<\/em>
Fans of punchy, cheeky period dramas (A Thousand Blows, House of Guinness) can get yet another fix courtesy of Guy Ritchie\u2019s take on Holmes\u2019s adolescent adventures. Starring alongside Colin Firth, Natascha McElhone and his uncle Joseph, Hero Fiennes Tiffin takes on the role of the fledgling detective during his time at Oxford in the 1870s.<\/p>\n

DTF St Louis<\/strong>
Sky Atlantic\/Now, <\/em>2 March<\/em>, 9pm<\/em>
This quirky murder mystery about midlife sexual liberation in the suburbs features David Harbour as a man whose involvement in a love triangle leads to his death. Could his wife and closest friend (Linda Cardellini and Jason Bateman, respectively) be responsible? RA<\/em><\/p>\n

Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia<\/strong>
Switch 2; out <\/em>5 March<\/em>
If the white-knuckle intensity of the mainline Pok\u00e9mon games is too spicy for you, this new, relaxing-to-the-point-of-soporific entry in the franchise takes its cues from pottering sims such as Stardew Valley, and tasks you with creating and maintaining the perfect habitats for your coterie of husbanded fuzzballs.<\/p>\n

Marathon<\/strong>
PC, PS5, Xbox; out <\/em>5 March<\/em>
Superflops such as Sony\u2019s Concord (which was taken offline after just two weeks) show how risky it can be to birth another shooter into the crowded multiplayer market. The pedigree of Halo and Destiny creator Bungie is at least cause for optimism that this hectic brap-em-up will offer something to woo enough new players. Luke Holland<\/em><\/p>\n

Mitski \u2013 Nothing\u2019s About to Happen to Me<\/strong>
Out now<\/em>
On Mitski\u2019s eighth album, the singer-songwriter, whose single My Love Mine All Mine unexpectedly went viral in 2023, channels the character of a reclusive woman in an unkempt house. In the case of the ballad I\u2019ll Change for You that means dramatically mourning a lost love, while on Where\u2019s My Phone? despair turns to rage.<\/p>\n

Gorillaz \u2013 The Mountain<\/strong>
Out now<\/em>
Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett\u2019s virtual band returns with their ninth album, and first on their own label. Featuring songs sung in English, Arabic, Hindi, Spanish and Yoruba by guests including Sparks, Omar Souleyman and Kara Jackson, it\u2019s a typically large-scale trip through various musical genres.<\/p>\n

Iron & Wine \u2013 Hen\u2019s Teeth<\/strong>
Out now<\/em>
The spectacularly bearded Sam Beam returns with his eighth album of expertly crafted folk, a sibling record of sorts to 2024\u2019s Light Verse. Featuring his touring band, alongside Americana trio I\u2019m With Her, songs such as the elegant Roses and In Your Ocean sound like lost standards.<\/p>\n

Bruno Mars \u2013 The Romantic<\/strong>
Out now<\/em>
While it\u2019s been a decade since the pint-sized hitmaker released his solo album 24K Magic, Bruno Mars\u2019s chart ubiquity has barely slackened. Globe-straddling megahits with Lady Gaga (Die With a Smile) and Ros\u00e9 (APT.) have paved the way for this new album, featuring recent US No 1, I Just Might. MC<\/em><\/p>\n

Norah Jones Is Playing Along<\/strong>
Podcast<\/em>
Norah Jones\u2019s entertaining series sees the singer paired with a different, genre-spanning musician each week to talk about their creative lives and create a spontaneous cover version in the process.<\/p>\n

LumoTV<\/strong>
lumotv.co.uk<\/em>
Britain\u2019s streaming service for deaf and sign-language content, LumoTV, is a treasure trove of lesser-known but fascinating programming. Highlights include the music documentary series Deaf Jams and Hold My Hand, a BSL reality dating show.<\/p>\n

The Women of IS<\/strong>
BBC World Service\/BBC Sounds, <\/em>5 March<\/em>, 10.32am<\/em>
This moving three-part series follows the ongoing and complex repatriation of the thousands of women and children who lived under the Islamic State caliphate and who are now housed in refugee camps in Syria. Ammar Kalia<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
