Ealing's independent community theatre, The Questors Theatre, has a couple of events and productions happening this month ahead of Christmas season.
1. The Welkin by Lucy Kirkwood
About: It's 1759 and in the English countryside, a young woman faces a death sentence for a gruesome crime. Desperate to avoid execution, she claims to be pregnant.
This assertion leads to an extraordinary gathering of twelve women, pulled from their daily lives and tasked with deciding her fate.
In a world dominated by men, this rare moment of female authority is both disruptive and empowering.
From the author of Olivier Award winning play Chimerica, Lucy Kirkwood's The Welkin is a thrilling and witty exploration of power, social responsibility and the burden of women in a patriarchal society.
When: 1-9 November.

4. The Cane by Mark Ravenhill
About: From the author of 'Shopping and F******' comes a riveting play about power, justice and the consequences of complicity.
After dedicating 45 years to teaching, Edward and his wife plan to celebrate his retirement. But the revelation that he once punished misbehaving pupils with the cane (which was legal at the time) leads to angry recriminations.
His house is besieged by demonstrating pupils, and his estranged daughter has arrived with her own agenda.
Through the eyes of this fractured family unit, The Cane examines opposing attitudes of different generations towards education, authority and corporal punishment, and asks whether we can understand the mistakes of the past without excusing them.
When: 16-23 November.
