Janice Forsyth talks to actors appearing in a revival of JM Barrie's Bandelero the Bandit.

Janice Forsyth is joined by young actors appearing in a revival of JM Barrie's play Bandelero the Bandit, which was thought lost for many years before being rediscovered in the US.

J M Barrie's wrote his first play at the age of 17: 'Bandelero the Bandit'. For many years it was thought to be lost, until it eventually turned up in a library in the USA. The play is now being revived for the first time by Peter Pan Moat Brae Trust and the Scottish Youth Theatre. Janice will be joined by some of the young actors from SYT and graphic artist Stephen White, aka Stref, who has created the first graphic novel version of Peter Pan.

Mark Cousins talks about his new documentary film 6 Desires: DH Lawrence and Sardinia, and how he believes technology is opening up film-making.

Janice finds out about visual theatre production Drift, which will be staged on various remote beaches throughout Scotland, using songs and sculpture to tell the story of 9 days spent adrift at sea by Betty Moat in 1886.

Rosemary Goring joins Janice to discuss her new book Dacre's War, set 10 years after the battle of Flodden.

And in this week's Tuesday review, Rosemary Goring, photographer Eoin Carey and writer Chitra Ramaswamy discuss the NTS adaptation of Muriel Spark's The Driver's Seat; Odyssey, a new US drama coming to BBC2, and the National Museum of Scotland exhibition Photography: A Victorian Sensation.
