BBC Radio 4 - Saturday Review, Love's Labour's Lost, Cold War, Black Earth Rising, Pat Barker, Surreal Science

Love's Labour's Lost, Cold War, Black Earth Rising, Pat Barker, Surreal Science.

Globe Theatre's Love's Labour's Lost, award-winning Polish film Cold War, BBC/Netflix's Black Earth Rising, Pat Barker's The Silence Of The Girls, Surreal Science exhibition.

The Sam Wanamaker Playhouse in London is an intimate candle-lit theatre space ideally suited for Shakespeare productions. Their latest is Love's Labour's Lost, played largely as broad comedy... how does it handle the pathos?
Polish film Cold War won the Best Director Palme d'Or this year. It's a love story set in Soviet era Poland and the obstacles which make reaching for hope and resolution sometimes seem impossible
A new TV drama series co-production from BBCTV and Netflix looks at the international legal ramifications of war crimes committed during the Rwandan genocide. Black Earth Rising stars Harriet Walter and Michaela Coel as a mother and daughter with a personal involvement that leads to family conflict
Pat Barker's latest novel The Silence Of The Girls is a retelling of the Trojan Wars from the point of view of the women.
Surreal Science is a new exhibition at London's Whitechapel Gallery combining collected 19th century scientific teaching models and illustrations, with new works selected by Salvatore Arancio to explore and understand the mysteries of nature and existence through scientific enquiry.
Tom Sutcliffe's guests are Helen Lewis, Susan Jeffreys and David Benedict. 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.
