The Commitments musical; Le Week-End
Roddy Doyle's novel The Commitments becomes a new stage musical; Lindsay Duncan and Jim Broadbent go to Paris - will their marriage survive Le Week-End?
Roddy Doyle's The Commitments, the Dublin-set musical arrives at the Palace Theatre in London. With Killian Donnelly as lead singer Deco, will it win the public's hearts as the book and the film did?
Lindsay Duncan and Jim Broadbent are a long-married couple who go to Paris for Le Week-end to celebrate their 30th anniversary - in a trip that soon puts the marriage to the test. Scripted by Hanif Kureishi and directed by Roger Michell, it's their third feature film collaboration.
The Circle by Dave Eggers is the story of Mae, a naive young employee of the world's most powerful internet company. Is it a Brave New World or 1984 for our time, as some have called it?
Facing the Modern: The Portrait in Vienna 1900 at the National Gallery in London is a look at the flourishing of portraiture in the multi-cultural, multi-faith city during and after the fin-de-siecle, including work by Klimt, Schiele and Richard Gerstl.
Hello Ladies is Stephen Merchant's new California-based comedy which will be showing on Sky Atlantic here. He plays an Englishman lost in LA and looking for love - but does he deserve to find it?
Tom Sutcliffe is joined by Deborah Bull, Naomi Alderman and Patrick Gale.
Producer: Sarah Johnson.
