Janice hears from the director and cast of the revival of The Cheviot, The Stag and The Black Black Oil. Plus Liz Lochhead tells us about her new play, What Goes Around.
Janice has a feast of theatre on the programme today.
The Cheviot, The Stag and The Black Black Oil revolutionised theatre in Scotland when it was first produced in 1973. Now Dundee Rep have revived the play for a post-referendum Scotland. Director Joe Douglas and cast members, Calum MacDonald and Aly Macrae, give us a flavour.
Liz Lochhead's tells us about her new play, What Goes Around, a backstage comedy based on Arthur Schnitzler's play La Ronde, that scandalised Vienna when it was published in 1903.
Debut novelist Andrea Bennett lived in Russia during the Yeltsin years in the 1990s. Her new book, Galina Petrovna's Three-Legged Dog Story is the hilarious tale of septuagenarian Galina, whose beloved dog, Boroda, is captured by dog-hater and Depeche-Mode-lover, Mitya The Exterminator.
Concrete Antenna is a startling and beautiful soundscape installed in a hollow tower at the Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop in Newhaven. Nicola Meighan heads down there to meet the artists behind it.
And on Tuesday Review, this week's critics are Kirsty Miller and Stewart Smith. They discuss Billy Connolly's exhibition of his artworks at the People's Palace in Glasgow; the new TV adaptation of classic novel, The Go Between; and the brand new album from Duran Duran, Paper Gods.
