	Description:		Peter Capaldi talks about his latest album – Sweet Illusions – a nod to the thriving 80s music scene in Glasgow where Peter made his musical debut fronting The Dreamboys. Through the Shortbread Tin is a new National Theatre of Scotland production about the supposed third century Scottish bard Ossian. Its writer – poet Martin O’Connor – and director Lu Kemp, share their exploration of one of the greatest literary hoaxes of all time Brian Friel is known around the world for his plays Translations, Faith Healer and Dancing at Lughnasa, having made his name with Philadelphia, Here I Come! Now 10 years after his death, a new edition of his short stories has been published, showing a much more diverse writer than previously acknowledged. Discussing the often overlooked work of the "Irish Chekov" is a fellow master of the short story Louise Kennedy, and Dr Kelly Matthews, author of Brian Friel: Beginnings.
