Hotlist: Week four

Catch it while it’s hot


Burning Down the House@ Cellar

‘Burning down the house’ raises several questions, one of which is, does anyone actually like house? A night of innocent new wave fun -possibly the only night where you can pretend to be your mum and dad.

When: Tuesday

Where: The Cellar

Ian McKellan, Geir Lippestad and Stephen Fry@ The Union

Reeling after the last minute ‘drop out’ from Tommy Robinson back in 2nd week, The Union has bounced back with three big names for 4th. May well be a marketing ploy for their latest autobiographies, but you’ve got to get your money’s worth at some point from that Union membership card.

When: Monday (McKellen), Tuesday (Lippestad), Wednesday (Fry)

Where: The Union

Jerusalem@ Keble O’Reilly

Like Beckett on speed or Coward on coke, The Bard on base or Davenant on dots, Butterworth bashes out some hard-hitting-no-nonsense-quipping dialogue in his masterpiece-glance at rural England.

When: Wednesday – Saturday

Where: O’Reilly Theatre, Keble

Isis Magazine Funk ‘N’ Soul@ Cellar

It’s been said that Isis have been having a pretty tough time from people believing them to be the Oxford offshoot of their radical namesakes out in Syria and Iraq. So they’re putting on an evening of funk and soul to cheer themselves up.

When: Wednesday

Where: The Cellar
