Review: theatre: Hello Dolly; TV: The Decameron; film: About Dry Grasses

Novelist Stephanie Merritt and the literary editor of the Spectator Sam Leith review the latest cultural releases with Tom Sutcliffe.

Novelist Stephanie Merritt and literary editor of the Spectator Sam Leith are Tom Sutcliffe's guest reviewers.

They give their verdict on the new production of Hello Dolly at London's Palladium starring Imelda Staunton, Netflix's The Decameron - which depicts the haves and the have-nots in plague-ridden 14th century Florence - and the 3 hour long Turkish film, About Dry Grasses, which features the travails of a teacher posted to a rural school in a bleak but beautiful landscape.
