Ai Wei Wei, Margaret Atwood, 99 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔs, Fake It 'til You Make It, Music for Misfits
Looking at Ai Wei Wei at The Royal Academy, Margaret Atwood's The Heart Goes Last, the film 99 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔs, the play Fake It 'Til You Make It, and Music for Misfits - the Story of Indie.
Ai Wei Wei's new exhibition at The Royal Academy shows how his work continues to be a thorn in the side of The Chinese government. But does it make for a satisfying exhibition?
Margaret Atwood's new novel The Heart Goes Last was originally published as a 4 part serial work online.
99 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔs is a film which takes what might sound like an unpromising premise - foreclosure of mortgages - and tries to turn it into a thriller.
You might not expect a play about depression to use song and dance and comedy to tell its tale but Fake it 'til you make it, at London's Soho Theatre attempts to do just that.
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ4's Music for Misfits tells the tale of how independent record labels and indie bands reshaped the UK music business and were then appropriated by those they intended to replace.
Tom Sutcliffe's guests are Crystal Mahey Morgan, David Hepworth and Deborah Moggach. The producer is Oliver Jones.
