Sunday Morning with Cathy Macdonald

BBC's Vatican correspondent David Willey discusses the impact of what has become known as "Vatileaks" - how Pope Benedict XVI's former butler is to stand trial for stealing confidential papers and leaking them to the press.

Two women tell powerful stories through theatre. Rebecca Peyton the writer and performer of the one woman show 'Sometimes I Laugh Like My Sister' explains why 7 years after her sister, the BBC journalist Kate Peyton, was shot dead in Somalia she feels compelled to keep telling her story on stage.

And South African actress Thembi Mtshali-Jones discusses the moving play 'Mother To Mother'. It's a story of forgiveness and reconciliation through an imaginary testimonial between two mothers which recounts and relives the murder of American student Amy Biehl in Cape Town in 1993.

Renowned Scottish composer James Macmillan's new work 'Since It Was the Day of Preparation' is based on the story of the resurrection. It's being performed at the Edinburgh Festival this year and James talks about his experiences of writing music about his faith.

There's another poem from the Written World series - this week's selection is from Slovakia, and together with a great selection of music, it's well worth tuning in to the show this Sunday Morning on BBC Radio Scotland.
