Ai Weiwei: Making Sense. We look at the new exhibition which opens at the Design Museum in London tomorrow.
Plus we review the new Grease prequel Rise of the Pink Ladies, streaming on Paramount+ from tomorrow.
Samira is joined by reviewers Nancy Durrant, Cultural Editor of the Evening Standard, and critic Karen Krizanovich.
Plus 25 years of the Good Friday Agreement. Two very different new plays marking the anniversary open this week. Agreement at the Lyric Theatre in Belfast dramatizes the negotiations that led to the deal, and Beyond Belief at the Derry Playhouse is a musical about the life of Irish politician John Hume - one of the architects of the peace agreement. Steven Rainey talks to the creative teams behind both productions about marking the moment.
