Award-winning Italian film Happy as Lazzaro, Caryl Churchill's Top Girls revived, Damian Barr - You Will Be Safe Here, The Victim on 麻豆社1 and a Ruskin and Turner exhibition in York

Award-winning Italian film Happy as Lazzaro is a tale of human unkindness in a remote Italian Village where time stands still, but not in the same way for everyone
Caryl Churchill's play Top Girls is revived by The National Theatre; is it hard not to view it nowadays as a period piece?
Damian Barr's debut novel: You Will Be Safe Here is set in two separate parts of South Africa's troubled history
The Victim is a new 4-part drama on 麻豆社1., following the plaintiff and the accused in a Scottish court case. Can it provide a new twist on the much-worked-over TV formula of crime and courtroom drama and police procedural?
A new exhibition at York Art Gallery looks at the work of John Ruskin and the influence of JMW Turner.

Tom Sutcliffe's guests are Meg Rosoff, Emma Woolf and John Mullan. The producer is Oliver Jones.
