Located in the Red Room, this immersive experience is by renowned artists Heinrich &amp; Palmer and uses modern technology to show the layers of history in Mottisfont unlike ever before.

THEATRE: Ladykillers, Ventnor Exchange, Tues 3
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-18188 size-full" src="https://hants.muddystilettos.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2020/02/Ladykiller-TheThelmas.jpg" alt="Ladykiller-TheThelmas" width="1000" height="525" srcset="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/hants/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2020/02/Ladykiller-TheThelmas.jpg 1000w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/hants/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2020/02/Ladykiller-TheThelmas-300x158.jpg 300w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/hants/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2020/02/Ladykiller-TheThelmas-768x403.jpg 768w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/hants/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2020/02/Ladykiller-TheThelmas-720x378.jpg 720w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" />There’s been a murder in Ventnor. Ok, not really, but Ladykillers is tipped as a “blood-soaked morality tale about power, privilege, and tearing up the gender rule book on psychopathy; a jet-black comedy for the age of the gig economy.” Following a sell-out run at Edinburgh Fringe 2018, the Island is in for a treat.

COMEDY: Joel Dommett: Unapologetic (if That&#8217;s OK?), Shanklin Theatre, Fri 6
Jungle runner-up and baby-faced comic Joel Dommett is bringing his teen boy schtick to the Island this week. While I’m secretly hoping he’ll bring some of his wardrobe from his time on The Masked Singer (I’m telling you, the guy can rock a sequin), I’ll be content with plenty of gags and awkward anecdotes.

The pre-cursor to 50 Shades… Lady Chatterley’s Lover will be getting audiences hot and heavy with its tale of love &#8211; and lust &#8211; straight from the pages of Lawrence.

COMEDY: Rhod Gilbert: The Book of John, Mayflower Theatre, Southampton, Sun 8
