BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Frida Kahlo; Christine Rice mezzo soprano; Helen Walsh

Frida Kahlo - her art and marriage; sleep deprivation with a new baby; and Christine Rice.

With Jenni Murray. A major new Frida Kahlo exhibition in the UK; mezzo soprano Christine Rice; sleep deprivation with a new baby; the end of modular GCSEs.

Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera - on show together for the first time in the UK. We look at their relationship and their art. Helen Walsh's jagged experience of broken nights after the birth of her child is the subject of her new novel "Go to Sleep" - she tells Jane what the impact of severe sleep deprivation was on her. Schools Minister Nick Gibb explains why he thinks the end of modular GCSEs might be a good idea; and the mezzo soprano Christine Rice talks about performing with over 1,000 others in an extraordinary piece at the Proms - including four brass bands off stage.
