Ali & Ava reviewed, Cultural Responses to Ukraine, Cherry Jezebel
Ali & Ava review. We look at cultural responses to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Plus Jonathan Larkin on his new play, Cherry Jezebel. And social media in TV dramas like Mood.
On tonight’s Front Row, we take a look at the cultural responses to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s Culture Editor, Katie Razzall.
Clio Barnard’s latest film, Ali &Ava, is a love story between two care-worn middle-aged people, set in Bradford. Syima Aslam, co-founder and Director of the Bradford Literature Festival, and Lisa Holdsworth, Chair of the Writer’s Guild of Great Britain, review.
Cherry Jezebel is the title of a new play which opens at the Liverpool Everyman next week. At its heart are three drag queens with funny one-liners faster and sharper than a Federer forehand. But it’s also a play about ageing, family, and intimacy. The playwright Jonathan Larkin joins Front Row to discuss his new work.
With the launch on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Three of Nicole Lecky's new drama Mood, critics Imriel Morgan and Gavia Baker-Whitelaw discuss the depiction of social media in TV dramas.
