FR: Dolly Parton, Helena Bonham Carter & Antonio Pappano
Damien Barr talks to Dolly Parton about her love for Harper Lee and how she sees writing as therapy, Kirsty Lang meets the very irreverent Helena Bonham-Carter and talks to three Syrian authors about culture on the front line. Matthew D’Ancona tries to solve the mystery of how to plot a soap opera and hears Prince Buthelezi’s reminiscences on acting with Stanley Baker and Michael Caine on the set of “Zulu”. He also talks to Anne Washburn about her apocalyptic Simpsons themed play and hears how Antonio Pappano will take on Puccini’s first masterpiece, Manon Lescauts. Finally John Wilson meets artist Marina Abramovic in an empty gallery, to create art.
