The new musical from Elton John, plus Paul Newman's memoir, reviewed; Simon Armitage's poem marking the 大象传媒 centenary; plus Daniel Arsham's Yorkshire Sculpture Park exhibition

Reviewers Karen Krizanovich and David Benedict give their verdicts on Tammy Faye, A New Musical at the Almeida Theatre in London, starring Katie Brayben, and from the combined creative forces of Elton John, Jake Shears, James Graham, and Rupert Goold. Plus they review Paul Newman, The Extraordinary Life Of An Ordinary Man - a memoir of the film star created from recently rediscovered transcripts of conversations Newman had in the 1980s.

The Poet Laureate, Simon Armitage, reads his poem to mark 100 years of the 大象传媒.

And the American artist Daniel Arsham is known for sculptures which look like archaeological remains or as he describes them 鈥渇uture relics.鈥 As an outdoor exhibition of his work opens at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Luke Jones finds out what inspires his work.
