A previously lost JM Barrie play, Mark Cousins and the Tuesday Review

J M Barrie's wrote his first play at the age of 17: 'Bandelero the Bandit'. For many years it was thought to be lost, until it eventually turned up in a library in the USA. The play is now being revived for the first time by Peter Pan Moat Brae Trust and the Scottish Youth Theatre. Janice will be joined by some of the young actors from SYT and graphic artist Stephen White, aka Stref, who has created the first graphic novel version of Peter Pan.

Janice finds out about visual theatre production Drift, which will be staged on various remote beaches throughout Scotland, using songs and sculpture to tell the story of 9 days spent adrift at sea by Betty Moat in 1886.

Rosemary Goring joins Janice to discuss her new book Dacre's War, set 10 years after the battle of Flodden.
