Recreating Shakespeare through black lenses

Recreating Shakespeare through black lenses.

Falling in love with Shakespeare by creating the UK's first all-black, all-female company.

Plus, reflections on the 20-year anniversary of the US invasion of Afghanistan.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Jonathan Steele, an author, journalist and former chief foreign correspondent for the Guardian; and Patricia Cumper, an award-winning playwright, producer, critic, and commentator.
