Backstage at Swan Lake, Emily Bronte and Wuthering Heights, Kaffe Fassett
Backstage at Liam Scarlett's production of Swan Lake, the short life of Emily Bronte and the impact of her only novel plus Kaffe Fassett on his latest exhbition.
As the Royal Ballet stages their new production of Swan Lake this week, we go behind the scenes during rehearsals to meet some of the cast and crew, including choreographer Liam Scarlett, designer John Macfarlane and principal dancer Marianela Nu帽ez.
This year is the 200th anniversary of the birth of Emily Bront毛, author of Wuthering Heights. An intense tale of passionate relationships, it is considered one of the most powerful and enigmatic works in English literature. As Wuthering Heights is dramatised on Radio 4, we speak to Christine Alexander, author of the Oxford Companion to the Bront毛s and Professor John Mullan about the short life of Emily Bront毛 and the impact of her only novel.
As Kaffe Fassett's vibrant needlepoints and quilts are celebrated in a new exhibition in Bath, the 80 year-old textile designer talks about his love of bright colours.
