Bridges of Madison County musical, Thai film Die Tomorrow, Fosse/Verdon on 大象传媒TV, Last Supper In Pompeii at The Ashmolean Museum and David Constantine -The Dressing-Up Box.
Bridges of Madison County began life as a novel, then became a film and is now a musical. Opening at London's Menier Chocolate Factory, it stars Jenna Russell in the lead role. How does it work on the stage?
Thai film Die Tomorrow sounds like it might be a Bond movie but is a thoughtful look at death and mortality; mixing different formats: documentary, drama, interview, but never showing any death
Fosse/Verdon begins soon on 大象传媒2. It's an American drama which tells the story of the astonishingly talented choreographer and film director Bob Fosse (played by Sam Rockwell) and his personal and creative relationship with his wife; the dancer Gwen Verdon
Last Supper In Pompeii is a new exhibition at The Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. It looks at the Roman city which was buried under lava in 79AD, through the prism of food and drink
David Constantine's new collection of short stories is The Dressing-Up Box, full of darkness and unsettling worlds
Ayesha Hazarika's guests are Deborah Moggach, Bridget Minamore and Michael Arditti. The producer is Oliver Jones
