Set on the edge of somewhere in Brittany, all rundown buildings, dual roads and drive-in restaurants, it's a dark and sometimes funny story of a working-class family and a young woman who starts working in a fast food restaurant. Through a few short scenes, we get a real idea of the day-to-day soullessness of the work.It's a quick read,…

For an orchestra that has been a staple of the classical mainstream for more than 150 years, the choreography was awkward: lengthy resets between pieces, a second half that almost started before the audience was seated, and a famous guest who fled after barely acknowledging the applause. But despite all that, this collaboration between Haley and Jonny Greenwood - Radiohead's award-winning guitarist and composer - was…

But I was gratified to know that her name has passed through time with a much greater esteem than the men who wrote about her. Ask a 10-year-old who Plutarch is and he'll furrow his brows – but Cleopatra? Their eyes light up with delight.I did this…
