Salome, Frantz, Anything's Possible, Giacometti, 3 Girls
Ya毛l Farber's Salome at NT, Francois Ozon's film Frantz, Anything is Possible by Elizabeth Strout , Giacometti at Tate Modern, 大象传媒 TV dramatises the Rochdale abuse case.
Ya毛l Farber's Salome at NT tries to retell a biblical story many of us half-know. Has she been misrepresented and misunderstood and is she more than the scheming woman who arranged the decapitation of John The Baptist?
Francois Ozon's bilingual film Frantz is a tale of love and lies in France and Germany shortly after the First World War. If telling the truth is too painful, can it be okay to lie?
Anything is Possible is a new novel by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Elizabeth Strout. Continuing the story of characters from her previous highly-acclaimed work, My Name Is Lucy Barton.
Tate Modern's newest exhibition looks at the career and output of sculptor and painter Alberto Giacometti
大象传媒 TV has dramatised the Rochdale sex abuse scandal. Starring Maxine Peake, it's not easy viewing but what what light can a drama shine upon such a notorious case?
