The week's cultural highlights, including RSC's Volpone, The Wonders, Harper Lee's Go Set a Watchman, Marc Quinn at White Cube Bermondsey and Britain's Forgotten Slave Owners.
The RSC's latest production is a contemporary setting of Ben Johnson's 17th century comedy play Volpone.
Italian film The Wonders, is a film which won the Jury Prize at this year's Cannes Festival. It's about a family of beekeepers struggling to survive.
Harper Lee is not a prolific author. Her first 'new' work in more than half a century is Go Set a Watchman. Can it possibly match the success of To Kill A Mockingbird (40 million sold)
Marc Quinn's exhibition The Toxic Sublime at White Cube Bermondsey includes hanging works and enormous outsize sculptures of seashells ,
The 成人快手 TV programme Britain's Forgotten Slave Owners looks at how widespread ownership of slaves was before the 1833 act to abolish it.
