Authors Helen Macdonald and Sin BlachΓ©, Stewart Lee and Wils Wilson on Macbeth, singer-songwriter Connie Converse rediscovered.
Authors Helen Macdonald and Sin BlachΓ© are live in the studio to discuss their new queer sci-fi thriller Prophet.
Theatre director Wils Wilson has invited the comedian Stewart Lee to rewrite the Porter’s scene in a new RSC production of Macbeth. Wils and Stewart join Samira Ahmed to discuss drawing on stand-up comedy, pantomime and the politics of today to refresh Shakespeare's comic relief.
And we rediscover the American singer-songwriter Connie Converse, fifty years after she disappeared without trace. Samira speaks to Howard Fishman – writer, songwriter, bandleader, producer of Connie’s Piano Songs, and author of To Anyone Who Ever Asks: The Life, Music, and Mystery of Connie Converse.
PRESENTER: Samira Ahmed
PRODUCER: Olivia Skinner
