Night Waves

on BBC Radio 3

What does reading the Bible as literature rather than history reveal about the ancient world? Paul Allen talks to Thomas L Thompson , whose new book, The Bible in History: How Writers Create a Past, contributes to one of the most controversial debates in cultural history. There is more biblical conflict in Nick Darke 's new play, Riot, when a dispute among Cornish fishermen over Sunday observance turns into a battle between rival towns: a report from tonight's opening at the Royal National Theatre. Plus views of Piranesi's monumental prison series, on display at the Courtauld Institute for the first time.
