Disney\u2019s much-anticipated 101 Dalmatians prequel Cruella is the visually stunning origin story of the woman who becomes the puppy-stealing force of evil from Dodie Smith\u2019s original 1956 story. Starring Emma Stone and Emma Thompson and directed by I, Tonya\u2019s Craig Gillespie, it is set in late '70s London and channels much of punk\u2019s dark energy and aesthetic. Larushka Ivan-Zadeh joins Front Row to assess whether it makes for compelling viewing \u2013 and for what age group.

\u201cWhy shouldn\u2019t God send a miracle to Merthyr?\u201d asks Carys, the 16-year-old girl in The Merthyr Stigmatist. She claims to have the wounds of Christ, bleeding from her hands and feet every Friday evening. Her teacher, Si\xe2n, isn\u2019t convinced; she thinks Carys should keep quiet, get out of the Merthyr Tydfil and go to university. But why should she have to leave to lead a fulfilling life? Lisa Parry\u2019s talks about her new play, in which faith, reason, class, fame and language all collide.
