Reviews of the Coen brothers' Hail Caesar, RSC's Don Quixote in Stratford, Ta Nehisi Coates's The Beautiful Struggle, Botticelli Reimagined at the V&A, and Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Three drama Thirteen.
Hail Caesar is the Coen Brothers' newest film - recalling the Golden Age of Hollywood: the scandal, the vice and the Studios' men who handled the catastrophes.
The RSC has adapted Cervantes' masterpiece Don Quixote in a new production in Stratford. Can they do justice to a book, more than 4 centuries old, which is often hailed as the The Greatest Work Of The Spanish Language?
