Mark Lawson reports on arts funding cuts and reviews Rattigan's Cause Celebre.

Mark Lawson reports on Arts Council England's budget cuts and reviews a new staging of Rattigan's Cause Celebre, with Anne-Marie Duff as a woman accused of murdering her husband.

Anne-Marie Duff stars in Thea Sharrock's production of Rattigan's Cause Celebre. The play is based on the true story of Alma Rattenbury who, in 1935, was accused of killing her husband and put on trial along with her 18-year-old lover. Crime writer Frances Fyfield discusses the play. 

Theatres and arts organisations find out today whether their budgets have been cut by Arts Council England. We hear from some of the successful companies and those who may go under. 

Producer Robyn Read.
