Jonathan Franzen, People, Places and Things, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, Lady Chatterley, Dulwich Picture Gallery

Jonathan Franzen's Purity, People, Places and Things at the National Theatre, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, Lady Chatterley and Dulwich Picture Gallery's permanent collection.

Jonathan Franzen's latest novel Purity deals with the intrusiveness of the internet and social media though a mysterious family history and hacking and whistleblowing.
People Places and Things at The Dorfman Theatre is Duncan Macmillan's latest play, dealing with addiction, recovery and an individual's identity
Me and Earl and The Dying Girl, is a film which sort-of delivers what the title says. It's a teenage cancer weepy, but does it have anything new to say or a new way of saying it?
Lady Chatterley returns to the small screen in a new 大象传媒 adaptation. Modern sensibilities are less likely to be offended by some aspects than others. Should we let wives and servants watch this version?
We visit Dulwich Picture Gallery's permanent collection - the world's first purpose-built public art gallery founded in 1811.
Tom Sutcliffe's guests are Meg Rosoff, David Olusoga and Stephanie Merritt. The producer is Oliver Jones.
