BBC Radio 4 - Front Row, Jude Owusu, Operation Mincemeat, Wrexham's bid for UK City of Culture 2025

Jude Owusu from To Kill a Mockingbird, and a review of Operation Mincemeat.

To Kill a Mockingbird's Jude Owusu. New film Operation Mincemeat reviewed by Simran Hans. Derry Girls reviewed. Wrexham County Borough’s bid for UK City of Culture 2025

Tom Robinson is the black man wrongly accused of raping a white girl in To Kill a Mocking Bird. In Harper Lee's novel and the film he is at the centre of the story but, defended by the white lawyer, Atticus Finch, almost voiceless. In the acclaimed new stage production now in the West End, the actor playing Tom Robinson, Jude Owusu, discusses his approach to the role and the relevance of the story today.

The UK’s City of Culture 2025 will be announced next month and Front Row is hearing from the four places on the shortlist.  Tonight, Emily Hughes reports on Wrexham County Borough’s bid.

Simran Hans reviews the new film Operation Mincemeat, the new British war drama directed by John Madden.
