Sicario, Teddy Ferrara, Jonathan Lee, Frank Auerbach, Black Roses
The week's cultural highlights, including Sicario, the Donmar's Teddy Ferrara, Jonathan Lee's novel High Dive, Frank Auerbach at Tate Britain and Simon Armitage's poem Black Roses.
The American government's war on drugs is a familiar subject for a film. How does the latest - Sicario - advance the genre?
The Donmar Warehouse's production of a play about LGBTQ politics on an American campus - Teddy Ferrara - has been reworked from its US origination. How will it work in London?
Jonathan Lee's novel High Dive reimagines the story of the 1984 Brighton Bombing where the IRA tried to kill the Tory cabinet. How well does it meld fact and fiction?
Frank Auerbach is often hailed as Britian's finest living painter. We attend a retrospective exhibition at Tate Britain in London
Black Roses was Simon Armitage's prose poem - originally written for the radio - about the murder of Sophie Lancaster, a young goth girl kicked to death by a frenzied group of young men. It's now been made into a TV production as part of National Poetry Week
Tom Sutcliffe's guests are Charlotte Mullins, Ryan Gilbey and Emma Woolf. The producer is Oliver Jones.
