Will the government鈥檚 拢1.57 billion investment in the arts be enough save UK cultural organisations and freelancers? Samira discusses the arts rescue package with Shadow Culture Secretary Jo Stevens, Artistic Director of Leicester鈥檚 Curve Theatre, Nikolai Foster, and head of the Incorporated Society of Musicians, Deborah Annetts
We speak to dancer and choreographer Wayne McGregor about his latest work 鈥淢orgen鈥�, created under lockdown, which strikes a note of optimism in hard times.
Ennio Morricone, the Italian film composer, has died at the age of 91. His scores for films like The Good, The Bad and The Ugly helped define the western - but he worked across all genres, from The Battle of Algiers, Cinema Paradiso to The Untouchables - and in 2016 with Quentin Tarantino on The Hateful Eight for which Morricone won an Oscar. Neil Brand pays tribute to the work of the celebrated composer.
