BBC Radio 4 - Front Row, Dominic Cooper and Terry Johnson, Turner Prize shortlist, Completing other authors' books

Actor Dominic Cooper discusses The Libertine, a tour of the Turner Prize shortlist.

Actor Dominic Cooper and director Terry Johnson discuss The Libertine and Meg Rosoff and Samantha Norman talk about completing books after the death of the original authors.

As the work of the Turner Prize-shortlisted artists go on show at Tate Britain, Charlotte Mullins assesses what the exhibition says about the strength of contemporary art in the UK.

Brian McCormick, Seamus Heaney's nephew and director of a new arts and literary centre dedicated to the Nobel laureate, talks about opening the exhibition space in the poet's home town of Bellaghy, Northern Ireland. 

Meg Rosoff, who completed the new novel Beck by her friend Mal Peet after he passed away, and Samantha Norman, who finished her mother Ariana Franklin's historical thriller Winter Siege, discuss the challenges - and joys - of completing books after the death of their authors.

Actor Dominic Cooper and director Terry Johnson discuss their new production of The Libertine, Stephen Jeffreys' 1994 play about the rake and poet John Wilmot who scandalised the court of Charles II. 

Presenter: John Wilson
Producer: Rachel Simpson.

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