There is no other choice
Out now
Korean writer Park Chan-wook (Oldboy) taps Squid Game’s Lee Byung-hun to helm this dark comedy about a man who has recently been made redundant but is so committed to reclaiming his role that he feels he has “no other choice” but to resort to murder.

H is for hook
Out now
Based on the novel by Helen Macdonald, this drama sees Claire Foy play a woman who grieves the loss of her father and considers training a falcon.

Hannah Diamond
phoenox, london, January 30
The PC Music collaborator returns, three years after the release of sophomore album Picture Perfect, with a new live experience, HD Heaven. It leans toward futuristic worldbuilding, and with the promise of several special guests, it’s likely to be a visual and sonic onslaught grounded in Diamond’s experimental pop music. MC

Andy Warhol
lakeside arts nottingham, January 24 Until April 19
As the United States changes, does our understanding of this American artist also change? It’s safe to say we’re still catching up with Andy. His cold analysis of a future dominated by cheap celebrities masking a monotonous sameness has never seemed more plausible. He never said it would be a utopia.

Julia Phillips
Barbican Centre: The Curve, London, January 30 Until April 19
This German-born artist is a sculptor of acute modern anxiety. Casts of her body, bizarrely made of shiny ceramic, were placed alongside steel frames, sharp tools and other bits of technology. Its contrasting collisions of flesh and metal point to a new machine age, in the spirit of Berlin Dada.

George Baselitz
Christia Roberts Gallery, London, until 28 February
The veteran painter and sculptor—who spent his life expressing the human condition, from harsh, “degenerate” early works to upside-down portraits and historical provocations—is experiencing a remarkable and honest old age. He celebrates his 88th birthday in a defiant and dangerous style with images of the German eagle.

Caroline Walker
Pallant House Gallery, Chichester, until 26 April
Realistic, almost serene on the surface, paintings that explore the experience of motherhood. A mother sits with her children in one scene, and we wonder about her thoughts and feelings in this still moment of everyday life. Another painting looks from the outside at a child in the room.

Paul Taylor Dance Company
Royal Ballet and Opera: Linbury Theatre, London, 27 Until January 31
Paul Taylor was one of the most important and popular figures in American modern dance from the 1950s onward. The company has not visited the UK for two decades (Taylor died in 2018), so this is a long-awaited visit, with two programs showcasing Taylor’s classics and new works. Lindsey Winship

Rosalie Minette: Clementine
cloyd theatre, generator, January 24; Touring Until June 7
Since its debut in 2022, the parody of Minette, a Regency heroine, has gradually blossomed into a word-of-mouth hit. Combining parody of historical drama with knowledge of anachronism, Clementine draws clever parallels between the protagonist’s desperate search for a husband and the nightmare of modern dating. Rachel Aroesti

Arcadia
Old Vic Theatre, London, January 24 Until March 21
The late Tom Stoppard’s dazzling classic play – a whirlpool of thought and romance that leaps a century – is being performed at the Old Vic for the first time. The film is directed by Carrie Cracknell and stars Seamus Dillane, Laila Farzad, Angus Cooper and Prasanna Buwanaraja. Miriam Gillinson

Our city
Swansea Grand Theatre, until 31 January; Tour until March 28
The Welsh National Theatre’s inaugural production of Michael Sheen tours Wales and then moves to London’s Rose Theater in February. Sheen leads an all-Welsh cast in Thornton Wilder’s poignant and poignant play, which quietly traces the passage of time in a small town. mg
