Norah Jones performs, Sir Ian McKellen on Player Kings.

Norah Jones revisits her most famous song - Come Away With Me -  with a new performance, Sir Ian McKellen on the role of Falstaff, and Keisha Thompson on creating sculpted poetry.

Norah Jones discusses her new album, Visions, and reflects on the song, Come Away With Me, that made her name along with a special performance in the Front Row studio;  Sir Ian McKellen and theatre director Robert Icke on tackling one of Shakespeare's greatest characters, Falstaff, in their new production Player Kings; and Keisha Thompson on how her year as artist-in-residence at Yorkshire Sculpture Park led to her creation of "sculpted poetry" in her new collection, Dé-rive.
