'Tiger' and 'Tiger Tale' are two new plays produced by Barrowlands Ballet. Co-creators Natasha Gilmour and Robert Evans explain how they adapted their story for both child and adult audiences.

Joe Douglas met Ronnie on a gap year in Uganda and a friendship blossomed and resulted in Joe investing many thousands of pounds. Joe discovered that Ronnie had been rather less than honest however, and it inspired him to write a play about his experiences.

And author Meg Rosoff tells Janice about her new novel 'Picture Me Gone' - exploring perception, emotion and the fallibility of parents, and the upcoming film adaptation of her first novel 'How I Live Now', directed by Kevin Macdonald and starring Saorise Ronan.
