Sweet Country, High Society at Rijksmuseum, Macbeth at National, Wendy Cope, David Byrne
Australian film Sweet Country, High Society in Amsterdam, Rory Kinnear and Anne Marie Duff in Macbeth, Wendy Cope's Anecdotal Evidence and David Byrne's latest release.
Australian film Sweet Country is an Australian Western set in the 1920s - can there be justice when an aboriginal man kills a white farmer in self defence.
High Society is a new exhibition at The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam - a series of life-size portraits from the masters of art history from Rembrandt to Manet and Velasquez.
The National Theatre's latest production stars Rory Kinnear and Anne Marie Duff in Macbeth.
Wendy Cope's first collection of poetry in 7 years is Anecdotal Evidence
David Byrne has been one of the most consistently inventive and exciting musicians and performers for more than 4 decades. His latest release American Utopia is his first solo album for nearly a decade-and-a-half and looks at the state of the US right now. What does his eye alight upon and what does he make of it...?
Tom Sutcliffe's guests are Sir Richard Eyre, Tracy Chevalier and Natalie Haynes. The producer is Oliver Jones.
