The Death of Stalin, Philip Pullman, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, Albion, Gunpowder
Armandao Iannucci's the Death of Stalin, Philip Pullman's new trilogy: Part 1, La Belle Sauvage, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov at Tate Modern, Albion by Mike Bartlett, Gunpowder on 成人快手1.
Armando Iannucci's film The Death of Stalin is described as "A comedy of terrors" and "A comedy of hysteria". How funny can a film about the death of the man whose regime saw the murder of hundreds of thousands of Soviet citizens actually be?
There's a new trilogy of Philip Pullman books on the way; it's both the sequel and prequel to His Dark Materials. We're looking at Part 1 of The Book of Dust - La Belle Sauvage
An exhibition of work by Ilya and Emilia Kabakov at Tate Modern in London profiles the lives of 2 Russian conceptual artists from their beginnings, un-sanctioned by the state, to their more modern, still uncompromising work
Albion is the latest play by Mike Bartlett (Doctor Foster, King Charles III) opening at London's Almeida Theatre
Gunpowder; a Guy Fawkes drama beginning on 成人快手1 comes in 3 episodes - concluding just in time for Bonfire Night
Tom Sutcliffe's guests are Melissa Harrison, Alex Preston and Amanda Craig. The producer is Oliver Jones.
