Shakespeare in cartoons, Jess Phillips, Sidney Nolan's Australian legends
With MP Jess Phillips talking about life in the public eye and curator Rebecca Daniels on Sidney Nolan's paintings of Australian history. Plus Shakespearean characters in cartoons.
MP Jess Phillips on life in the public eye. Plus Ned Kelly, Lady Macbeth, one once flesh and blood, the other imagined into being, yet both have done sterling work as ciphers to the human condition. Anne McElvoy talks to Rebecca Daniels, curator of an exhibition marking the centenary of Australia's great myth-maker, the artist Sidney Nolan and to David Taylor, curator of an exhibition at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre about the way memorable images work and legends are made-they are joined by Lorna Miller and Kevin 'Kal' Kallaugher, who draw on their experience as political cartoonists.
