Cultural Capital - Watch this week’s show on London’s culture from Black Widow to Julian Opie

Let’s get out there

Welcome to this week’s episode of Cultural Capital. The weather’s dismal and we can’t go anywhere except Wales (not that there’s anything wrong with Wales, I just want to go somewhere, anywhere, that I’m not allowed to go), so thank God for living in London, also known as the greatest city in the world, where there’s so much going on we hardly know where to start.

This week, we’re Out West at the Lyric Hammersmith theatre, where three London writers, Tanika Gupta, Simon Stephens and Roy Williams, have produced a series of short plays about life and lives in the city.

Slightly further west we’re visiting the new Julian Opie exhibition at Pitzhanger Manor, the 18th century architect Sir John Soane’s country pad out in Ealing.

We’ve got some winter’s bone from the British Museum for you in Thing of the Week.

And forgetting about No Time to Die, which doesn’t even seem real anymore, I’ll be reviewing the other most anticipated movie of the year, Black Widow, out on Wednesday.

Enjoy!
