Arts news, interviews and reviews. Phoebe Waller-Bridge on playing a female droid in the Star Wars franchise, plus Andrew Sean Greer on his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Less.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge, writer and star of TV series Fleabag, discusses balancing performance and writing, and her latest role as L3, a female droid in the latest Star Wars episode, Solo.
Andrew Sean Greer has just won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for his comic novel Less, about a failed novelist who embarks on a trip round the world rather than attend his ex-lover's wedding. He discusses writing about gay marriage, ageing and why the win came as a surprise.
