	Description:		Lionel Shriver on her latest novel Mania, in which she creates an alternative USA where the Mental Parity Movement insists that everyone is equally clever. Can a friendship between two women survive when they hold polarised views on this particular “culture war”? Why are universities all over the country closing arts courses and cutting jobs? Front Row investigates and considers the consequences. Playwright Tyrell Williams talks about his acclaimed play Red Pitch, about three young lads dreaming of football stardom. But what happens when their local football pitch is under threat, as a result of gentrification? The fire at the Old Stock Exchange in Copenhagen has been called Denmark's Notre Dame moment. Front Row hears about the art that was in the building, what has been lost, what has been saved and what will be done now. Presenter: Samira Ahmed Producer: Julian May
