Tina the Musical has opened in London. Phyllida Lloyd, the director, joins Jenni to discuss the challenges of a staging a musical biography and finding Adrienne Warren, the young, relatively unknown actor singer who is playing the soul icon Tina Turner. In our series Take Back ConTROLL, we are following the stories of women who have been shamed online and are working with a London advertising agency, Mother, to reclaim their identity. Jackie is 33 and a teacher. She tweeted Katie Hopkins and lived to regret it when it blew up out of control. Jackie explained to Emma Barnett how she coped with going viral. Jenni meets the folk-pop girl band Stealing Sheep and they perform a new single. Should employers be trained in how to spot domestic abuse amongst their staff? The charity Safe Lives which carries out research on domestic abuse is launching a campaign to involve employers in the lives of their employees. It's proposed that employers should be trained in how to spot signs of domestic abuse in people who work for them and then help them sort things out. But should an employee's private life remain private at work? Karen Jackson is a lawyer who specialises in discrimination at work. Penny East is head of communications at Safe Lives. Presenter: Jenni Murray.
