Description:

A cosy cottage with warming fireplaces, comfort food, crime dramas on tv: Matthew Sweet and guests discuss art, literature and drama that are comfortable to engage with and how difficulty, a dedication to campaigning or the reading of Nietzsche might disrupt this. Does a theatre critic tell audiences they are in for a thought provoking show? And what role does it play in social and politial thinking today? Our guests include: Deborah Sugg Ryan, writer and broadcaster and Professor Emerita of Design History at the University of Portsmouth. Sir Alexander McCall Smith prolific author of the best selling Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency series. Bioethicist and Fellow of the British Academy Tom Shakespeare Theatre Critic Susannah Clapp. Philosopher and Nietzsche expert Hugo Drochon.
