Hugh Jackman, Margaret Atwood, Claudia Rankine
Film star Hugh Jackman revels in playing the dastardly pirate Blackbeard.
Ugandan singing trio The Ganda Boys bring us their blend of soulful music with a social conscience. Film star Hugh Jackman revels in hamming it up as the swashbuckling, swaggering pirate Blackbeard in the new film Pan. Virtuoso violinist Bogdan Vacarescu treats us to his rendition of The March of the Goblins. And, we hear a poem that takes on casual everyday racism from this year Forward Poetry Prize winner, Claudia Rankine.
Nikki catches up with actors Ladi Emeruwa, Naeem Hayat and Matthew Romain who share the role of the Dane in Shakespeare鈥檚 Globe Theatre's worldwide touring production of Hamlet. Author Margaret Atwood discusses robots, surveillance and the sinister dystopia of her latest novel and there is a chance to sing and hiss along with the Snake Mother Lullaby from the Solomon Islands.
