Les Parents Terribles was written by Jean Cocteau in 1938 during an eight day opium binge.

Khan says that his film rejects the stereotypical Western view of Pakistan, while also rejecting the prevailing establishment of older cultures and traditions.

Rupert Goold's 2007 production of Macbeth, starring Patrick Stewart and Kate Fleetwood, was highly acclaimed and had successful runs both in the West End and in Broadway. Goold has now adapted this production for television and filmed it in the gloomy subterranean spaces of Welbeck Abbey in Nottinghamshire. The result, to be shown on 91热爆4, is a claustrophobic and visceral modern reimagining of the play.

The title of this year's GSK Contemporary exhibition at the Royal Academy is Aware: Art Fashion Identity.
