Review Show: Bugonia, Salman Rushdie stories, The Line of Beauty

Tahmima Anam and Tristram Fane Saunders join Tom Sutcliffe to review new fiction from Salman Rushdie, Yorgos Lanthimos's Bugonia starring Emma Stone and The Line of Beauty on stage

Tahmima Anam and Tristram Fane Saunders join Tom Sutcliffe to review The Eleventh Hour, a collection of five short stories from Salman Rushdie in his first return to fiction since he was attacked in 2022. Director of Poor Things and The Favourite Yorgos Lanthimos brings more strangeness to cinema screens with Bugonia, a thriller with Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons. And Alan Hollinghurst's Booker Prize-winning novel The Line of Beauty is adapted for the stage by Jack Holden. Plus they discuss censorship in Eastern Europe as the board of the Belgrade International Festival of Theatre blocks director Milo Rau from bringing his work about the Gisele Pelicot trial to the festival.
