Elizabeth Friedlander
Until 29 April, Ditchling Museum of Art and Craft will be showcasing the work of German-born designer Elizabeth Friedlander, who created some of Penguin books’ most distinctive covers under the guidance of poet Francis Meynell.

Theatre

Amadeus
After a critically lauded sell-out run in 2016, Michael Longhurst’s production of Peter Shaffer’s play returns to the National Theatre in London from 11 January. Lucian Msamati is back as composer Antonio Salieri, who strikes a deal with God and is overtaken by a jealous vendetta against his rival, Mozart.
At the National Theatre, SE1, 11 January to 24 April

Music

Five Day Forecast 2018
Independent music blog The Line of Best Fit hosts its fourth annual Five Day Forecast, which this year includes the 1975-endorsed goth-pop rabble Pale Waves, Norwegian pop upstart Fanny Andersen and the tricky-to-Google the Rhythm Method. It starts on 8 January and – surprise, surprise – runs for five nights at The Lexington, London, N1. Day tickets are £8, otherwise it’s £32 for all of it.

Paramore
Like Destiny’s Child and the Sugababes, Paramore have a pretty speedy revolving door policy when it comes to lineups. As it stands, their current assemblage – Hayley Williams, Zac Farro and Taylor York – return to the UK this week in support of last year’s synthpop and new wave-inspired After Laughter album, Top 10 in both the US and the UK, and featuring their most effervescent single in the shape of Hard Times. This tour takes in three big arena shows, starting at Cardiff’s Motorpoint Arena on 11 January.

Camila Cabello
Just over a year since she quit sporadically successful girlband Fifth Harmony, Camila Cabello will release her debut solo album on 12 January. Titled Camila, it was originally lumbered with the slightly less memorable The Hurting, the Healing, the Loving, which screams, “We didn’t really get on, you guys!” Featuring the single Havana, which spent five weeks at No 1 in the UK, the album has chiefly been produced by the in-demand Frank Dukes, who has worked with the likes of Frank Ocean, Lorde and Nicki Minaj.

Film

Insidious: The Last Key
This fourth instalment of the long-running horror franchise finds scream queen Lin Shaye delving deeper into The Further, this time in New Mexico. Out on 12 January.

Podcast

The Read
Friends Kid Fury and Crissle West host this sweary and very funny podcast in which they dissect hip-hop and pop culture’s most trying stars, with only Beyoncé and Blue Ivy left unscathed. There have been 247 episodes since it launched in 2013, so take your sweet time working your way through them all, although last year’s Holleration in This Hillary should be a first stop based on title alone.
