Birds of Paradise, Independent Cinema and Tuesday Review.

We're celebrating two anniversaries today. Multi award winning theatre company Birds of Paradise is 25 years old and the Edinburgh Filmhouse Cinema is turning 40.

Birds of Paradise, the multi award winning theatre company which champions disabled voices in the performing arts are celebrating their 25th anniversary with an alternative Halloween show.  Janice will be talking to Artistic Director Robert Softley Gale and performer Sally Clay
We hear about the Embroidered Stories: Scottish Samplers exhibition which is showing at the National Museum of Scotland . A collection of 70 samplers, on loan to the museum, reflect the social history of 18th & 19th century Scotland, charting the changes in morality, education and the industrialisation of Scottish society through voices rarely heard in our history. 
Edinburgh’s Filmhouse Cinema celebrates its 40th birthday this month and a new Everyman Cinema has just opened in Glasgow.  Film reviewer Ian Hoey and Jane Mayo from Campbeltown Picture House join Janice to discuss independent cinemas in Scotland.
Our Tuesday Reviewers, Ian Hoey, Yasmin Sulaiman and Jonathan Whitelaw will be giving us their views on the new and final season of House of Cards, the remastered release of Bronski Beat’s 1984 album Age of Consent and the BBC One documentary Imagine….Becoming Cary Grant which looks at the life of Cary Grant from his childhood in Bristol to his successful career in Hollywood.
