Cirque Berserk, The Belle's Stratagem and the Tuesday Review

Janice hears about a new Scottish version of 18th century play The Belle's Stratagem, written at a time women's writing rarely appeared on the stage. Plus the Tuesday Reivew.

Every dreamed of running away to join the circus? Janice speaks to two performers who did just that: Jackie Armstrong and Paul Winston from Cirque Berserk.

The Belle's Stratagem is an 18th century comedy written by Hannah Cowley, at a time women's writing was rarely performed on stage. Cast members Angela Hardie and Angus Miller tell Janice about appearing in a new Scottish adaptation, currently on stage at Edinburgh's Royal Lyceum Theatre.

Glasgow songwriter Michael Timmons performs songs from his debut album Bone Coloured.

Plus the Tuesday Review: Graeme Virtue, Heath Sheridan and Halina Rifai share their thoughts on Young Sheldon, a spin-off from The Big Bang Theory; Landfall, Laurie Anderson's collaboration with the Kronos Quartet, charting the impact of Hurricane Sandy on New York; and Soundtracking, Edith Bowman's podcast celebrating contemporary film soundtracks.
