Review: The Piano Lesson, Florence 1504, Jonathan Coe's The Proof of My Innocence

Nancy Durrant and Nii Ayikwei Parkes join Tom Sutcliffe to review The Piano Lesson, the latest August Wilson play to be adapted for the screen by the family of Denzel Washington. Directed by Malcolm Washington and starring John David Washington, Samuel L Jackson and Danielle Deadwyler, a brother and sister argue over the future of an heirloom piano.

We discuss Jonathan Coe's return with new novel The Proof of My Innocence, a satirical murder mystery.

Florence in 1504 is the backdrop for the Royal Academy's new exhibition of drawings by Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael, and we hear from ceramicist Felicity Aylieff at Kew Gardens where her new exibition featues large scale pots up to five metres high.
