Saturday Review - 12/06/2010

Tom Sutcliffe and his guests Paul Morley, Maria Delgado and Dominic Sandbrook review the week's cultural highlights including Greenberg and The Surreal House Noam Baumbach's film Greenberg is a bleak comedy of manners starring Ben Stiller and Greta Gerwig. Women, Power and Politics at the Tricycle Theatre in London is a festival of events which includes a season of nine short plays about how women exercise power, or, more often, why they don't get the chance. The Bodleian Library's John Johnson Printed Ephemera Collection consists of 1.5 million items which Johnson described as "everything which would ordinarily go into the waste paper basket after use". Around 65,000 of these items are now available online and users can browse through everything from crime broadsheets and adverts to playbills and printed souvenirs. The BBC4 drama Lennon Naked is part of the network's Fatherhood season and stars Christopher Eccleston as John Lennon and Christopher Fairbank as his estranged father Freddie. The Surreal House is an exhibition at the Barbican Gallery in London in which architects Carmody Groarke have created an installation that houses works by first generation surrealists such as Dali, Duchamp and Magritte along with more contemporary artists, including the late Louise Bourgeois and Sarah Walker.
