BBC Radio 4 - Start the Week, Fiona Shaw; Simon McBurney; Journeys Into the Unknown

Stephanie Flanders talks to Jeremy Webb, Carolin Crawford, Fiona Shaw and Simon McBurney.

Stephanie Flanders talks to science editor Jeremy Webb, astronomer Carolin Crawford and opera directors Fiona Shaw and Simon McBurney.

Stephanie Flanders contemplates nothing with science editor Jeremy Webb who is fascinated with the idea of vacuum, voids and absolute zero; and astronomer Carolin Crawford explains there's more to black holes than meets the eye. The director Simon McBurney looks to reveal all in his production of the Magic Flute, including liberating the orchestra from the pit to centre stage; and Fiona Shaw asks 'is this all?' in her re-imagining of Britten's The Rape of Lucretia.

Producer: Natalia Fernandez.

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