Catching both strands of curator Matt Packer's two-part show means you'll have to get from one end of the island to the other. Packer has rounded up artists who reframe the natural world as a system that "is co-extensive with . . . supranatural materials and concepts", from pioneering plant photographer Karl Blossfeldt to Veit Laurent Kurz's environments of spiritual nourishment.

"The truth?" asks Col Jessop in A Few Good Men. "You can't handle the truth." What if the stakes were higher, wonders David Ireland's excellent and scabrous new play. Set in the bowels of a Northern Irish political building, on the first day of an imagined Truth and Reconciliation committee, it finds a damaged and destructive woman forcibly restrained by her elder sister, a Unionist politician, unravelling their personal histories just as countless others prepare to be aired. Sophie Motley directs Stacey Gregg and Abigail McGibbon.
