In the 1890s Art Nouveau was hailed not just as a new style but as a completely new art, and across Europe a number of movements led to the creation of buildings and objects where decoration drew on symbolic, sexual and psychological motifs. Richard Coles and guests discuss the origins and impact of Art Nouveau as a major exhibition opens at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. And a few decades on, the theatrical world of thirties London is the setting for Nicholas Wright's new play Cressida. The programme reports from tonight's premiere, directed by Nicholas Hytner and starring Michael Gambon.
