Oklahoma! on stage and Conversations with Friends on TV reviewed; the Bob Dylan archive; the Florence Nightingale Museum reopens.
On today's Front Row review, we discuss directors taking a new look at much loved works: Daniel Fish鈥檚 Broadway production of Oklahoma!, now at the Young Vic in London, explores the darker aspects of the musical. Conversations with Friends, the debut novel by bestselling author Sally Rooney, has been adapted for television, following the lockdown success of Normal People. Journalist Tara Joshi and Matt Wolf, London theatre critic of the International New York Times, review them both.
The Bob Dylan Centre, home to the singer's immense archive, opened this week. Professor Sean Latham, Director of the Institute聽for Bob Dylan Studies at the University of Tulsa, discusses its cultural significance.
And as the Florence Nightingale Museum reopens after two years, its director David Green joins Samira to consider the legacy of the mother of modern nursing.
