Minority Report on stage, Wicked Little Letters starring Olivia Coleman reviewed.

We hear from some of the creatives involved in a new stage adaptation of Philip K Dick's sci-fi classic, Minority Report, ahead of its opening at Nottingham Playhouse.

Minority report, the Sci-Fi classic by Philip K Dick, has already been adapted for film and television and now it’s a stage play that employs an innovative mix of technology, stagecraft and live performance.  As it opens at the Nottingham Playhouse,  Mark Burman talks to some of the creatives involved. 

We review Wicked Little Letters, a black comedy starring Olivia Coleman and Jessie Buckley about a real-life poison pen letter writing campaign that scandalised a small seaside town in Sussex in 1920. And we look at Boarders, a new comedy series on BBC Three that follows five black kids from London who are invited to join a posh boarding school that has been embroiled in scandals of its own.

Our reviewers are the author and writer Okechukwu Nzelu and the author and journalist Anita Sethi.
