Vinyl, A Bigger Splash, Margaret Forster, Louis Andriessen, Theatre at the V&A
With John Wilson, including reviews of new HBO series Vinyl and film A Bigger Splash, Melvyn Bragg remembers Margaret Forster, and composer Louis Andriessen on his life in music.
Vinyl is an upcoming HBO tv drama created by Mick Jagger and Martin Scorsese, starring Bobby Cannavale as a music executive in late 1970s New York who hustles to make a career out of the city's diverse music scene.
Staying with the world of record production, Tilda Swinton plays a rock star recovering from surgery on an Italian island in the new film A Bigger Splash from director Luca Guadagnino. The film is a remake of La Piscine (1969) and also stars Ralph Fiennes. Antonia Quirke and Boyd Hilton review the two productions.
Melvyn Bragg remembers his fellow Cumbrian writer Margaret Forster, who died today.
Theatre designers Tom Piper and Bob Crowley take us around the Curtain Up! exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum and offer some insight into what happens behind the scenes - from designing costumes, manufacturing props and building stage sets.
Louis Andriessen is one of the world's leading composers and this week the Barbican is holding a series of concerts and events to celebrate six decades of his music. He discusses his life in music with John.
