Dan Croll, Lisa Dwan, Wayne Hemingway, Isaac Julien, Michael Paterniti, Peggy Sue
Clive Anderson and guests with an eclectic mix of conversation, music and comedy. With music from Dan Croll and Peggy Sue.
This week Clive Anderson asks designer and entrepreneur Wayne Hemingway about Being a Man. He's not being impertinent - it's the title of a weekend-long series of events at London's Southbank Centre, at which Wayne is speaking. What inspired him to take part?
Actress Lisa Dwan tells Clive about following in the footsteps of someone's muse - in this case Billie Whitelaw. Lisa's performance in a trilogy of Samuel Beckett's work quickly sold out at London's Royal Court Theatre, and has now transferred to the Duchess Theatre.
Clive talks to journalist and author Michael Paterniti about his latest book 'The Telling Room' based on Michael's experiences in a small Spanish village. He was captivated by the story of a wonderous cheese - one bite could conjure long-lost memories - but, Michael was told, things went horribly sour.
Nikki Bedi asks installation artist Isaac Julien about his latest work: 'Playtime' - set across three cities defined by their relationship to capital - London, Reykjavik and Dubai. What links this to Julien's previous work 'Ten Thousand Waves', a nine-screen film installation, inspired by the 2004 Morecambe Bay cockle-pickers tragedy?
Music from Peggy Sue who perform 'Longest Day Of The Year Blues' from their forthcoming album 'Choir of Echoes', and from Dan Croll who performs 'Home'.
