Originality

BBC Radio 4 - Free Thinking, Originality

Nicholas Penny, Simon Stephens and Geoff Mulgan join Philip Dodd to discuss originality.

Geoff Mulgan of Nesta, author Naomi Alderman and copyright lawyer Lionel Bently join Philip Dodd to talk about the notion originality. Plus playwright Simon Stephens on fame.

Geoff Mulgan, champion of social innovation and design and Lionel Bently, barrister and copyright expert on intellectual property, and novelist and game inventor, Naomi Alderman, join Philip Dodd to discuss the ever-changing meaning of Originality. In 1976 Raymond Williams published a list of Keywords and gave his definition of Originality but its social meaning is very different to its meaning in law - why - and is the latter doing harm to the former?
Philip joins Nicholas Penny at the National Gallery to talk about the meaning of greatness in art in front of the new exhibition - Veronese: Magnificence in Renaissance Venice.
As Simon Stephens' play Birdland,about a monstrous rock and roller, opens at London's Royal Court, the playwright talks inspirations, death and originality with Philip Dodd.

Producer: Jacqueline Smith.
