Lenny Henry discusses his latest role as Elmore in August Wilson’s play King Hedley II. King is a young black man, just out of prison, who dreams of starting a business and a family. Then the smooth-talking, crap-shooting hustler Elmore wanders in and changes the dynamic in the yard. Artistic director Nadia Fall tells Samira why she has brought this epic, set in Pittsburgh in the Reagan era, to the Theatre Royal, Stratford East, and announces her plans for her second season there. The celebrated comic artist and graphic novelist Posy Simmonds, famous for her satirical long-running comic strips Gemma Bovary and Tamara Drewe in The Guardian, and books including Cassandra Darke, discusses her first major UK retrospective covering a 50-year career. The Central Park Five are the subject of a new true crime drama from Netflix. When They See Us centres on the wrongful conviction of five teenagers of colour for violent rape in New York in 1989 and their following 25-year fight to prove their innocence. The show is directed by Ava DuVernay who’s known for her critically acclaimed films Selma about Martin Luther King, and the documentary 13th, which considers the high percentage of African-Americans in US prisons. Dreda Say Mitchell reviews the drama. And poet, performer and juggler Gruffudd Owen on being the new Welsh-language children's laureate. Presenter Samira Ahmed Producer Jerome Weatherald

Subito si sconsiglia Unbroken, acciocché non ci siano errori, al posto di quello c’è invece il bellissimo Whiplash, il film che la radio sostiene. Tra le uscite della settimana c’è finalmente il bel Italiano medio e il molto francese Gemma Bovary e il molto britannico mr. Turner di Mike Leigh (molto bello). Delusione grossa per Notte la museo 3, totalmente inutile, non il caso di Fury invece, che è un bellissimo film di guerra. La sorpresa della settimana comunque è Leoni, il film italiano con Neri Marcorè, mentre già si sapeva che Birdman è un filmone, invece Jupiter - Il destino dell’universo è un piacevole ritorno agli anni ’80.

Even a blizzard can't stop us from Talking Comics! A snow storm is raging in NYC (but not in Canada!), so the Talking Comics crew split up for this week's show to work remotely. This week's podcast is a bit different and unlike regular shows, will be a video podcast of Bobby, Bob, Stephanie and Steve via Google Hangouts. Well, you can watch it as a video or choose to listen to it the good ol' fashioned podcasting way via sound. It's a bit of a shorter show due to the video part of the podcast, but we banter a bit and then get right to our Books of the Week which include: Animal Man, Imagine Agents, Disney Kingdoms: Seekers of the Weird, Alex + Ada, Rat Queens, Superior Spider-Man, World's Finest, Triple Helix, Batgirl, Fantastic Four, Gemma Bovary, Saviors, Aquaman, Scene of the Crime, The Amazing Screw-On Head And Other Curious Objects, Daredevil, Night of the Living Deadpool, Justice League, Miracleman and more.

Kirsty Young's castaway this week the cartoonist, writer and illustrator Posy Simmonds. Her social observation and sharp wit gained a loyal following in The Guardian where - among their stripped pine, lentils and patchwork - she depicted the lives of prototype woolly liberals Wendy and George Weber. Since then she's gone on to create highly acclaimed children's books and also graphic novels Gemma Bovary and Tamara Drew. Posy says she started drawing as soon as she could pick up a pencil and as a child was making magazines and little comics with titles like How to Turn Yourself Into an Up-to-Date Ted and How to Make Love and Be Loved in Four Easy Lessons. She remembers drawing as the perfect thing to do, because she could sit on her own and talk to herself.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: The opening of the prelude from Cello Suite No 1 in G Major by Johann Sebastian Bach Book: Four volumes of the London Telephone Directory Luxury: The Crown Jewels.
