David Greig, Mull Theatre and Tuesday Review

Edinburgh's Lyceum Theatre on their live Christmas shows and Glasgow singer songwriter Becci Wallace on her new album Present Tense

Director Beth Morgan and actor Simon Donaldson tell Janice about Emergence – two new short plays for Mull Theatre, which were rehearsed and filmed in the theatre to create a digital stream for audiences as home. The cast and crew had to form a work bubble on the island in order to rehearse and record the shows – they tell Janice about the plays and adapting to a new way of working.

Glasgow songwriter Becci Wallace previews her new album Present Tense

Edinburgh's Lyceum Theatre is to put on a series of Christmas shows – some pre-recorded, some streamed – and some live in front of an audience, after 9 months of closure, thanks to clever plans to tweak the auditorium layout to allow for socially distanced seating. Janice finds out more from Lyceum Artistic Director David Greig and two of the writers involved, Morna Young and Hamaad Choudry.

Tuesday review: Halina Rifai, Kelly Apter and Pasquale Iannone review Roadkill – a new political drama starring Hugh Laurie; plus Urban Myths, the Sky Arts comedy drama anthology series based on celebrity tales which may or may not have happened; and Song Exploder - Netflix’s take on the popular podcast which tells the stories behind a song.
