BBC Radio 4 - Front Row, Chrissie Hynde; Mondrian season; Miss Saigon

Chrissie Hynde; Mondrian exhibitions in Margate and Liverpool; Miss Saigon reviewed.

John Wilson with songwriter Chrissie Hynde, the curators of two exhibitions of works by Mondrian, the winner of the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize and a review of Miss Saigon.

John Wilson with guitarist and songwriter Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders who discusses her new solo album Stockholm. Hynde looks back at being on campus in her native Ohio in 1970 on the day the National Guard opened fire on unarmed students, leaving four dead. As two exhibitions of work by Mondrian open at Tate Liverpool and Turner Contemporary in Margate this summer, the curators discuss Mondrian's art and legacy. Also tonight, we hear from the winner of the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize and review a new production of Miss Saigon, which returns to the London stage 25 years after it first opened.

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