Peter Jackson, Patricia Cornwell, Matthew Bourne
Director Peter Jackson and screenplay writer Philippa Boyens on their final Hobbit film. Plus, Spare Dogs Records, author Patricia Cornwell, and choreographer Matthew Bourne.
Director Peter Jackson, along with Philippa Boyens, who wrote the screenplays of all the Lord of the Rings films discuss their final Hobbit film. We discover the new record label Spare Dog Records, set up to promote Malawi鈥檚 music. We explore a new wave of theatre looking at the subject of violence against women on stage. Plus, crime writer Patricia Cornwell tells us she no longer wants to think in the mind of a criminal.
Choreographer Matthew Bourne discusses bringing back the macabre in dance via his reprisal of Edward Scissorhands on stage. And, as Danish film director Lars Von Trier says he fears he will never make more films as he is giving up using drugs and alcohol, arts editor Will Gompertz considers whether the quality of an artist鈥檚 work is made or marred by having used drugs.
