Cultural Capital: the return of My Fair Lady to the West End and our 60 second review of Benediction

This week on Cultural Capital, we head into rehearsals for the first West End revival of Lerner & Loewe’s much-loved musical My Fair Lady in 21 years, and talk to the young British cast to find out how they’re bringing it up to date.

We’re meeting a woman once described as ‘sex appeal on strings’ in Thing of the Week, and our 60 second film review is Benediction, Terence Davies’ slightly strange new biopic of the poet Siegfried Sasson, starring a brilliant Jack Lowden.
