Exit the King, Man Booker Longlist, Tony Walsh, Nick Drnaso
Playwright Patrick Marber on Exit the King, starring Rhys Ifans and Indira Varma, John Wilson discusses the novels on this year's Man Booker longlist, plus poet Tony Walsh.
Playwright Patrick Marber and actress Indira Varma on Exit the King, Marber's adaptation for the National Theatre of the Romanian absurdist drama by Eug猫ne Ionesco, in which Varma stars as Queen Marguerite alongside Rhys Ifans' King, about to make his final exit.
John talks to Nick Drnaso, the first graphic novelist to be longlisted for the Man Booker prize, and critics Arifa Akbar and Toby Lichtig comment on the longlist as a whole. For the full list see below.
Poet Tony Walsh, whose poem This is the Place poignantly captured the feelings of the public following last year's Manchester Arena bomb, has written a new poem for the Imperial War Museum North in Salford, part of a season marking the centenary of the final year of the First World War.
