Christine and the Queens, Sarah Hall, Tartuffe set in a Birmingham Muslim community
Christine and the Queens on her new album, Chris; Sarah Hall - 大象传媒 National Short Story Award nominee; and Tartuffe, set in a Birmingham Muslim community
The French musician Christine and the Queens discusses bringing ideas about gender fluidity to the mainstream with a confident new persona, eighties influences, and her second album, named simply Chris, and released in both English and French versions.
Writer Anil Gupta and director Iqbal Khan discuss turning Moli猫re鈥檚 17th century French comedy Tartuffe - which turned its fire on the hypocrisy of the Roman Catholic hierarchy of the day - into a 21st century Brummie farce with a British Pakistani Muslim family in thrall to a local 'holy man'.
Sarah Hall has been shortlisted for the 大象传媒 National Short Story Award with her story Sudden Traveller. The writer discusses her piece about a young woman who鈥檚 preparing for her mother鈥檚 funeral. The story is broadcast on Radio 4 at 1530 tomorrow and the winner of the 大象传媒 NSSA will be announced on Front Row on 2 October.
