From Girls Aloud to Doctor Who: a complete guide to this week’s entertainment

Going out: Cinema

La Chimera
Out now
The Crown’s Josh O’Connor is on splendidly rumpled form here as a linen-suited tomb raider bent on extracting all manner of treasures from artefact-rich central Italian soil in the 1980s. But Indiana Jones he ain’t: this is grubby, shadowy work rather than high-octane, boulder-rolling heroics.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
Out now
Set about three centuries after the events of the last instalment in the Apes franchise, this soft reboot takes place at a time when humans have regressed to a feral state and apes rule the roost. Starring Owen Teague, Freya Allan, Kevin Durand and William H Macy.

Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger
Out now
Martin Scorsese tells the story of his lifelong obsession with the movies of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, the unique film-making partnership that gave us films including The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, Black Narcissus, The Red Shoes and A Matter of Life and Death.

Shallow Grave – 30th anniversary rerelease
Out now
It’s 30 years since three flatmates (Ewan McGregor, Christopher Eccleston and Kerry Fox) found a naked corpse played by Keith Allen in their spare room, accessorised with a tempting suitcase full of cash, but Danny Boyle’s debut has lost none of its pitch-black comic energy or nasty charm. Catherine Bray

Going out: Gigs

Girls Aloud
17 May to 30 June; tour starts Dublin
More than a decade since their split, and following the death of their unfiltered rebel Sarah Harding in 2021, the UK’s best girl band head out on a lengthy arena tour. Expect to hear a selection of some of pop’s most outlandish experiments including The Show, Biology and No Good Advice. Michael Cragg

Nickelback
16 to 23 May; tour starts Glasgow
Two decades after they unleashed karaoke classic How You Remind Me, Canadian rockers and enduring memes Nickelback are still taking their semi-ironic legend status to the bank. This UK tour may be in support of 2022’s Get Rollin’ album but it’s all about hits such as Photograph and Rockstar. MC

Bill Frisell Trio
Islington Assembly Hall, London, 15 May
One of jazz guitar’s most original and cinematically atmospheric stars for more than four decades, Bill Frisell continues to spontaneously remix bebop, swing, bluegrass, early rock and even classic movie themes with his longtime bass/drums partners Thomas Morgan and Rudy Royston. John Fordham

Carmen
Glyndebourne Opera House, Lewes, 16 May to 17 June; 1 to 24 August
There are just two new shows at Glyndebourne this summer, and one – Bizet’s perennial favourite – starts the season off. Directed by Diane Paulus and conducted by Glyndebourne music director Robin Ticciati, it’s double cast, with Rihab Chaleb as Carmen for the first run, and Aigul Akhmetshina taking over for the second. Andrew Clements

Going out: Stage

Eric Andre
14 to 23 May; tour starts Dublin
The cult comic’s surreal spoof chatshow staggers on to the stage. Expect eye-watering audience participation (including his ranch dressing-chugging competition). Rachel Aroesti

The Artist
Theatre Royal Plymouth, 11 to 25 May
The 2011 Oscar winner is reinvented for the stage by director Drew McOnie and playwright Lindsey Ferrentino, its silent movie-era setting the perfect vehicle for McOnie’s choreography and Robbie Fairchild’s tap dancing skills. Lyndsey Winship

The Great Privation: How to Flip Ten Cents Into a Dollar
Theatre503, London, 14 May to 1 June
Pennsylvania in the 1800s, where Black bodies are denied rest even after death: Nia Akilah Robinson’s bold new play excavates the historic act of grave robbing. A finalist for Theatre503’s International Playwriting award, The Great Privation examines the act of stealing dead people’s body parts for medical research. Kaye Wyver

The Two Gentlemen of Verona
Oxford Playhouse, 15 to 18 May
Former artistic director of the Royal Shakespeare Company Gregory Doran directs some lucky students – and a dog – in this staging of Shakespeare’s early comedy, which will complete his direction of the Bard’s canon. KW

Going out: Art

Ranjit Singh
Wallace Collection, London, to 20 October
Ranjit Singh, “Lion of the Punjab”, established the Sikh empire in the Indian subcontinent’s north-west in the early 1800s, defeating Afghan incursions and creating a reformist government. The Wallace Collection’s treasury of Sikh armour helps it explore his reign along with portraits, jewels and other artworks.

Now You See Us: Women Artists in Britain 1520–1920
Tate Britain, London, 16 May to 13 October
Famous women 500 years ago were more likely to be monarchs than artists. But this exhibition reclaims lost miniaturists of the Tudor age and pursues the women who made British art, from Mary Beale to Gwen John and Vanessa Bell. Should be a fascinating new view of British history.

Laura Aldridge
Jupiter Artland, near Edinburgh, to 29 September
Every garden needs a lawnmower sometimes. And Lawnmower is the title of Glasgow artist Aldridge’s new exhibition in the pleasantly pastoral setting of Jupiter Artland, featuring ceramics, video, fabric and found objects including fishing floats. She describes the mixed-media effect of her art as a form of expanded collage.

Paul Maheke
Mostyn, Llandudno, to 29 June
Ghostly black-and-white images of tentative, fleeting human presences are set against bolder, brighter, even crassly confident wall decorations in this confessional exhibition. It is based on a journal the artist kept through the pandemic years. The introspection enforced on us all by lockdown has haunting echoes here. Jonathan Jones
