Eugene Onegin in Russian at the Barbican, the Duke of Burgundy, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ2's Suffragettes Forever, Touring exhibition Art From Elsewhere, Peter Swanson's The Kind Worth Killing.

The production of Eugene Onegin by Moscow's Vakhtangov State Academic Theatre being staged at London's Barbican sold out for a year in Russia and the international tour sells to packed-out houses

The Duke of Burgundy is Peter Strickland's latest film which looks at the love affair between 2 sub-dom lesbian lepidopterists

Amanda Vickery presents Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ2's Suffragettes Forever, a three part series trying to tell "the unknown story" of "Britain's longest war, the 300 year-long campaign by women for political and sex equality" The touring exhibition "Art From Elsewhere" currently in Birmingham displays some of The Art Fund's acquisitions of works by artists from overseas

Peter Swanson's novel "The Kind Worth Killing" is a twisty turny thing; a thriller full of unexpected surprises. Is it surprisingly good?
