Arnold Wesker's play Chicken Soup with Barley depicts Jewish family life over three decades. First staged in 1958, Naomi Alderman reviews a revival at The Royal Court Theatre in London.
Poet Michael Longley discusses the virtue of short poems and writing about Ireland as he publishes his first collection for ten years, A Hundred Doors.
Rupert Christiansen and Quentin Letts discuss whether it's ever right to walk out of a play and if you should feel guilty giving up on a book before you've reached the end.
