Including Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Hadestown, Chris Kraus and Leger in Liverpool.

The Coen brothers' Ballad of Buster Scruggs on Netflix, Hadestown at London's National Theatre, Chris Kraus - Social Practices, Leger at Tate Liverpool, Death and Nightingales.

The Coen Brothers take on the Western movie in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. Made with money from Netflix, is it REALLY a cinema release?
Hadestown is a musical that's stopping off at London's National Theatre on its way from Off-Broadway to Broadway. It sets the Greek myth of story of Orpheus and Eurydice in modern New Orleans (and the underworld of course!) and reimagines the sweeping ancient tale as a timeless allegory for today's world.
Chris Kraus wrote the bestseller I Love Dick and now follows it with Social Practices, a particular mix of biography, autobiography, fiction, criticism, and conversations among friends. How does it hold together as a single book?    
There's an exhibition of work by French artist Fernand Leger just opened at Tate Liverpool charting his development throughout his life.  
BBC2's Death and Nightingales is an adaptation of Eugene McCabe’s novel set in Fermanagh in 1885, written by Alan (The Fall) Cubitt
