Isabel Hilton talks to acclaimed Magnum photo-journalist Steve McCurry about his work in war-torn Afghanistan, where he has captured images for the last two decades, and also about his pictures of life further afield in South East Asia. Plus Isabel and a roundtable of historians, classicists and directors discuss whether it's possible for Greek Tragedy to make sense to a contemporary audience, as a host of new theatre practitioners insist that this ancient stagecraft has direct connections to the modern world. Isabel will also be reviewing The Golden Compass, the film adaptation of Philip Pullman's award winning novel for children, Northern Lights.
