Richard Clements' WWII era play, poet Cahal Dallat on Yeats and much more

The Culture Cafe has everything this week from how to bury a dead mule (not literally) but the enigmatic title of a new play by Richard Clements based on family history in WW2; also the set designer Maree Kearns on leading the cultural conversation around the staging of three Jennifer Johnston monologues at the Abbey Theatre; Kate Robinson on her late father the cultural entrepreneur and leading global creative thinker Sir Ken Robinson who had a major role in the Derry/Londonderry bid for UK City of Culture 2013; and poet Cahal Dallat on why he is making a poetry trail celebrating WB Yeats' early years in London and has roped in the Oscar nominated "Belfast" star Ciarán Hinds. All that plus a vintage track from Stevie Nicks and the BBC Radio Ulster Where Music Matters playlist.
