Programme Details

On Night Waves, Deborah Warner talks to Philip Dodd about directing Ralph Fiennes, Simon Russell Beale and Fiona Shaw in JuliusCaesar at the Barbican London.

James J O'Donnell tells Night Waves why Saint Augustine is the greatest of all Christian thinkers - the man responsible for shaping our ideas of Original Sin, just war and the importance of books to wisdom.

Jonathan Glancey wanders around virtual Moscow exploring a new web based exhibition of some of the magnificent buildings that were conjured up, but never built during the Stalinist era.

And Susannah Clapp reviews Dominic Dromgoole's revival of Frank McGuiness's play Someone Who'll Watch Over Me, drawing on Brian Keenan's experiences, about three men taken hostage in Beirut in the early 1990s.

That's saints, sinners, emperors, terrorists and despots, all on Night Waves.

Night Waves, live at 9.30pm here on BBC Radio 3
