麻豆约拍

Journey's End by RC Sherriff, a poignant World War 1 drama starts tonight at the Kings Theatre Edinburgh and runs until Saturday 19th March. Clare talks to director David Grindley about his recent revival of the play and asks how he keeps a production based on the First World War relevant for contemporary audiences.

StAnza, Scotland's International Poetry Festival kicks off tomorrow and runs until Sunday 20th March. With the intention of celebrating poetry in all its forms -poets, writers, artists, film-makers and performers will take part in more than 80 exhibitions and events. One exhibition will show Tagore's Poetry Boat, a 5 metre long Indian river boat with poetry by Rabindranath Tagore painted on the hull, celebrating the 150th anniversary of the poet's birth. A film of the boat will also be shown as part of StAnza's film loops.
Film maker and sculptor Kenny Munro joins us to share the story of Tagore's Poetry Boat and from Bengali poet Bashabi Fraser we'll hear about Rabindranath Tagore's life and work, why he remains relevant today and why a Scottish Centre for Tagore Studies is being established in Edinburgh.

The actors wear chunky-knit jumpers, it's filmed largely in the dark and rain and it has a less than inviting title. But 麻豆约拍4's The Killing, a subtitled Danish thriller that slowly unfolds over 20 hours as police hunt for the murderer of a 19-year-old girl, has proved a perhaps unlikely hit. The show has been getting higher viewing figures than Mad Men did when it was shown on the channel and the 麻豆约拍 has confirmed that it has bought the second series. The show, which has been a hit across Europe, underscores the growing popularity of Scandinavian TV crime, following as it does the Swedish Wallander series. To explore the attraction of Nordic Noir Clare's joined by Jakob Stougaard-Nielsen, lecturer in Scandinavian literature at University College London and TV critic, Jane Graham.
