Robert Lindsay and Joanna Lumley on stage, and Ugly Betty's America Ferrera
Robert Lindsay and Joanna Lumley in The Lion In Winter; Ugly Betty's America Ferrera discusses her British stage debut; composer Paul Mealor on his Royal Wedding music.
With Mark Lawson.
Joanna Lumley and Robert Lindsay star in Trevor Nunn's new production of The Lion in Winter, taking the roles made famous by Katharine Hepburn and Peter O'Toole in the 1968 film, the tale of a dysfunctional family Christmas with the Plantaganets. Kathryn Hughes reviews.
America Ferrera, the star of TV show Ugly Betty, discusses making her British stage debut as the alluring publicity-seeker Roxy Hart in the musical Chicago. She also reflects on her famous TV role, and how she prepared for it.
Welsh composer Paul Mealor received an unexpected boost to his career when his choral piece Ubi Caritas was chosen to be performed at the Royal Wedding earlier this year. He discusses how Ubi Caritas started life as a secular rather than a sacred piece, and why he wasn't in Westminster Abbey on day itself, despite receiving a much-coveted invitation.
Producer Jerome Weatherald.
