With Mark Lawson. Including a review of Michael Frayn's new play Afterlife, a report from the Folkestone Triennial festival, and Jeff Park selects the best of recent crime fiction.

Presented by Mark Lawson.

Justin Cartwright reviews Michael Frayn's new play Afterlife, about the influential Austrian theatrical impresario Max Reinhardt, played by Roger Allam, who lived in a large castle near Salzburg and founded the Salzburg Festival before emigrating to America following the 1938 Nazi annexation of Austria.

Concrete slabs which once formed a crazy golf course in Folkestone have been cut up by sculptor Richard Wilson and re-assembled in the shape of beach huts as one of 23 artworks in the Folkestone Triennial - a festival that aims to use art as a catalyst for regeneration. Mark Lawson reports, speaking to artists Richard Wilson and Mark Wallinger and curator Andrea Schlieker.

Jeff Park selects the best of recent crime fiction, exploring The Murder Farm by Andrea Maria, The Widow's Secret by Brian Thompson and The Headhunters by Peter Lovesey.

Since her first collection of short stories Self-Help was published in 1985, Lorrie Moore has become one of the most influential voices in American fiction, her work frequently appearing in The New Yorker magazine. As her stories are gathered together in a single volume for the first time, Lorrie discusses why she is so drawn to short fiction.
