An Edinburgh Christmas Carol, Booker Prize winning author Shehan Karunatilaka, film review of Armageddon Time
Live song from the choir of An Edinburgh Christmas Carol, Booker Prize winning author Shehan Karunatilaka, and film review of Armageddon Time.
An Edinburgh Christmas Carol returns to the Lyceum Theatre stage next week with all the colour, cheer and spookiness that makes Dickens' classic tale so special - with a uniquely Edinburgh twist, including a community choir made up of local Edinburgh residents. They pop into the studio to put Michelle in the festive spirit.
This year鈥檚 Booker Prize winning author Shehan Karunatilaka joins live from Sri Lanka to discuss his book 鈥楾he Seven Moons of Maali Almeida鈥� which is set in Sri Lanka during the civil war and insurgency of the 1980s and 90s. Despite being set during a dark time in Sri Lanka鈥檚 history, Shehan鈥檚 novel has humour, and has been described as 鈥減art ghost story and part whodunit鈥� and the Booker judges said it was a roller-coaster journey through life and death.
In film, Siobhan Synott chats with Normal People actor Paul Mescal and Edinburgh born director Charlotte Wells鈥� about their new Aftersun ahead of its general release after premiering at the Edinburgh International Film Festival earlier this year. And Michelle is joined by Joe Goldblatt and Anna Smith to review Armageddon Time, a coming-of-age story about the strength of family and the generational pursuit of the American dream based on Director James Gray鈥檚 childhood experiences as young Jewish-American boy who befriends a rebellious African-American classmate.
