BBC Radio 4 - Front Row, Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie; Arcade Fire; Richard Wilson

Arts news with Matthew d'Ancona, including a review of the Mrs Brown's Boys movie.

Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie reviewed; Arcade Fire at Glastonbury; Richard Wilson on Krapp's Last Tape; Michelle Magorian on Goodnight Mister Tom; how artists respond to bridges.

Tonight's Front Row considers the big-screen debut of Mrs Brown, Brendan O'Carroll's TV creation. Whilst not receiving critical acclaim, the award-winning programme regularly attracts millions of viewers - so does it work as a film?

Also in the programme - Richard Wilson on performing Beckett's monologue, Krapp's Last Tape; Arcade Fire's Will Butler speaks from Glastonbury as the band prepares to go onstage; and Michelle Magorian recalls writing her classic novel, Goodnight Mister Tom.

Plus, how artists respond creatively to bridges.

Presenter: Matthew D'Ancona
Producer: Rebecca Nicholson.
