Your essential guide to the best of what’s on in and around Exeter this weekend (26-28 February).

THEATRE

Betrayal
Friday, Saturday & Sunday,  Exeter Northcott
Emma is married to Robert. But for seven years, she’s been having an affair with Jerry, Robert’s best friend. Betrayal begins at the end of the affair, and pursues an enthralling journey to its very beginnings. As memory reels backwards towards the moment the affair started, the lies tangle into a web of deception. Is Emma betraying her husband? Is Jerry betraying his best friend? Or are they all betraying themselves. Smart, darkly funny and full of yearning, this is one of Pinter’s most accessible and riveting plays.

Russell Kane: Right Man, Wrong Age
Sunday, 8pm, Exeter Corn Exchange
Are you 16-years-old, yet feel 21? Are you 40, but tragically faking 25? Or maybe you're full-on 80 years, with the heart of three oxen and the sex drive of a bonobo chimp. Don't worry: this is normal. No one is ever the 'right' age - it's is the beauty and the curse of being a real person. In this brand new show, Russell Kane unleashes another blisteringly-funny, award-winning stand-up performance about growing up, growing down, and why farts will always be funny.  Tickets £17. http://sites.exeter.gov.uk/cornexchange

EXHIBITIONS

Via Crucis Art Exhibition
Exeter Cathedral
Via Crucis is a touring exhibition, made up of 14 new images for the Stations of the Cross. The images are on paper and use mixed media, which includes charcoal, metal leaf, ink and pastel. They are the work of Caroline Waterlow, a multi-disciplinary artist based in the Westcountry. Where the traditional Stations emphasise the suffering path of Jesus, these new images follow the gospel accounts of Christ's Passion. Caroline Waterlow's images are inspired both by Pope John Paul II's "Scriptural" Stations of the Cross and the objects and tools associated with the Passion in the Arma Christi imagery. The exhibition can also be used as the inspirational for your own Stations of the Cross devotion, and a short liturgy is available in the Cathedral throughout Lent.  The exhibition runs until 29 March. www.exeter-cathedral.org.uk
