BBC Radio Scotland - The Afternoon Show, Kirstin Innes, Mid-Century Modern at the Dovecot, and Tuesday Review

Architect John McAslan on making theatres safe post Covid. Plus Kirstin Innes' new book.

Janice finds out about the Mid-Century Modern exhibition at Edinburgh’s Dovecot Studios. Plus reviews of two new TV shows and a new podcast in Tuesday Review.

Architect John McAslan is known for his acclaimed revamp of London’s Roundhouse Theatre. He’s now turned his attention to Dunoon Burgh Hall in his hometown, with ideas which he thinks could help all theatres bring in audiences safely post-pandemic.
Author Kirstin Innes talks about her new book Scabby Queen, telling the story of fictional musician and activist Cleo Campbell.
In our regular Make A Difference segment, Celia Sinclair discusses the funding challenges faced by the Willow Tearooms in Sauchiehall Street and how they’ve been working with the Princes Trust to employ and develop young people.
Curators Kate Grenyer and Dennis Nothdruft tell Janice about the new Mid Century Modern exhibition at Edinburgh’s now reopened Dovecot Gallery. The exhibition features works by the likes of Mary Quant and Terence Conran.
And in this week's Tuesday Review, novelist Jenny Colgan, TV critic Scott Bryan and journalist Arusa Qureshi discuss the TV adaptation of Vikram Seth’s post-Partition epic A Suitable Boy, new Jimmy McGovern drama Anthony, imagining the life a young black man murdered in Liverpool in 2005 might have led had he lived; and podcast Passenger List, winner of the Best Fiction category at this year’s British Podcast Awards.
