An international playwriting festival, a comedy about a kinky guesthouse owner and an opera group with a difference are all coming to Warehouse Theatre over the next three months.

The theatre has been running the international playwriting festival for 24 years and every year it is a great success showcasing entries from all over the world.

It runs on March 6 and 7 and will also put on some of the best plays from the last year's entries.

Relax is a new farce by Croydon-born playwright Robert Farrar and is set in the Gemini Lodge Guesthouse, near Weston super Mare, where the kinky guest house owner has a habit of seducing his unsuspecting male guests, but the next morning blaming it on his supposed identical twin brother.

Add in a tarot-reading 50-something stoned houseboy and a metrosexual mechanic and the scene is set for a hilarious tale concerning post coital guilt, sexual compulsion and mistaken identity.

James Holmes, best known for playing Clive in BBC sitcom Miranda, will be playing the lead role of Sandy in a run that lasts from March 12 to April 4.

Orpheus Down Under (April 9 to May 2) is the latest offering from Unexpected Opera, who aim to bring Opera a wider audience with clarity, imagination and humour.

The show is adapted from Offenbach's Orpheus in the Underworld and follows a couple on the verge of divorce who entangled with the gods and goddesses of Greek mythology, who are themselves embroiled in competition as Team Olympus.

Before any of those, don't forget you can still catch the latest Dick Barton episode, Quantum of Porridge, for the next 11 days before it closes on February 21.
