The actor Patsy Ferran talks to Samira about her transformation from flower girl (with some autonomy) to duchess (with none at all) in Pygmalion at the Old Vic, and a career in which she transformed from Edith, the maid in Blithe Spirit with Angela Lansbury to Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire with Paul Mescal, via Jem in Treasure Island.

鈥淩ubenesque鈥� has long evoked a voluptuous image of female nudity in art, but a new exhibition at the Dulwich Picture Gallery seeks to explore the complex relationship between Peter Paul Rubens and the women in his life. Co-curator Amy Orrock and critic Louisa Buck discuss how they influenced, and in many cases financially supported, the 17th century Flemish painter.

And as Netflix airs the fifth and final series of 鈥楾op Boy鈥�, which first appeared on Channel 4 starring Ashley Waters, Clive Nwonka, author of 鈥楤lack Boys The Social Aesthetics of British Urban Film鈥� and film critic Leila Latif discuss representations of black urban culture on screen.
