Reykjavik nü-house legend won’t quit spinning deep, progressive trance until he’s paid. 80RMB

The Beijing Players present… ‘Carry On, Nurse’ Polly Theatre (Weekdays, 8pm)
Critics said that a Chinese musical adaptation, set in a provincial AIDS ward, couldn’t – and shouldn’t – be done. This amateur expat production proves they were exactly right. 50-120RMB
Les Entrees, accompanied by Simply Tartan “Only M.E.” tour The Hutongster, Beijing (Tues 9, 8pm)
Les, who has battled back from a serious alcohol addiction he blames on M.E., famously supported The Krankies on the Stirling leg of their 1983 “Free Scotland” tour and is a previous recipient of the Sealink Ferries Most Dishevelled Live Act Award (1987). Tickets may seem pricey but, as Les himself quips, “I’m nae running a fooking charity. I’m promoting one – me. I mean – M.E.!” 250RMB
Staying In
Xianwen Lianbo (weeknights, 7pm)
Tune in for the habit. Stay for the lack of alternative.
