The Culture Café - 12/10/2010

Clockwork Orange - We preview the Citizens Theatre's hard-hitting new interpretation of Anthony Burgess's iconic dystopian novel - the story that gained notoriety in connection with Stanley Kubrick's film, which the filmmaker withdrew from distribution in the UK for 27 years in the wake of alleged copycat behaviour and threats against his family. The Best Art You've Never Seen - Art expert and former museum director Julian Spalding, discusses his new book which takes us into a world of beautiful and arresting artefacts and reveals their amazing stories - from neglected artistic wonders from off-beat corners of the world to store rooms in the world's great museums. Lip Service - Sex, lies and true love in modern Scotland - BBC Three's new seductive relationship drama Lip Service follows the lives of a group of twenty-something lesbians. We discuss the programme with writer/creator, Harriet Braun. Playback All that and Playback a culmination of Ankur's year long Pangaa (meaning 'chaos' in Punjabi) project, which invited young people, primarily but not exclusively, from Glasgow's Asian and Black communities to participate in the broad range of urban art forms. Playback by Davey Anderson (musical director of Black Watch, writer of Snuff ), is directed by Paddy Cunneen (director of Fleeto, Oran Mor then touring, musical director of Caledonia, NTS), and will be presented in the disused space behind the Briggait arts complex.
