Arts news and reviews with Kirsty Lang. Bollywood star Anil Kapoor; Anthony Sher in Ibsen; A Concerto for Beatboxer and Orchestra.

Slumdog Millionaire villain Anil Kapoor discusses his Bollywood stardom and new role as president of a fictional Islamic Republic in the latest series of 24. 

Sir Antony Sher stars in Ibsen's An Enemy of the People, the first production at The Crucible Theatre in Sheffield after its 15-million-pound two-year refit. Novelist Joanne Harris reviews the production and the new-look building.

Kirsty Young, chair of the judges of the 2010 Art Fund Prize for Museums and Galleries, reveals the long list for the UK's largest single arts prize. The 100,000-pound award will be made to a museum or gallery for a project completed in the last year.

The world premiere of Concerto for Beatboxer and Orchestra, by composer Anna Meredith and beatboxer Shlomo, takes place tomorrow night. Meredith, whose works include an opera and commissions for the Proms, and Shlomo, whose vocalising skills evolved from hip-hop, discuss adapting to each other's music to create the new piece, for 21 orchestral players and six beatboxers.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
