BBC Radio 4 - Saturday Review, Oresteia, Listen Up Philip, Milan Kundera, Stonemouth, Duane Hanson

The Oresteia at the Almeida and Iain Banks's Stonemouth on BBC One.

The week's cultural highlights, including The Oresteia at the Almeida, Milan Kundera's first novel for 12 years Festival of Insignificance and Iain Banks's Stonemouth on BBC One.

A brand new interpretation of the classical story The Oresteia begins a Greek Season at London's Almeida Theatre. How well does it bring an ancient story up-to-date? 

Czech writer Milan Kundera has just published his first novel for 12 years The Festival of Insignificance

Iain Banks' 2012 novel Stonemouth about a young man returning - under a shadow - to his Scottish hometown has been dramatised for BBC1

London's Serpentine Gallery has 2 portraiture exhibitions opening - Duane Hanson and Lynette Yiadom Boakye.

The film Listen Up Philip follows the life and relationships of an obnoxious young author who seeks life advice from a similarly obnoxious older writer

Tom Sutcliffe's guests are Linda Grant, John Mullan and Frances Stonor Saunders. The producer is Oliver Jones.

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