A brand-new London theatre
b'With Toby Lichtig and Lucy Dallas \\u2013 London has a brand-new theatre: the Bridge, the latest venture by Nicholas Hytner and Nick Starr, based in Southwark and dedicated to original writing. And it starts its life with a new play by Richard Bean and Clive Young: Young Marx features Rory Kinnear as a delinquent Karl Marx, with a dash of Monty Python thrown in. The TLS\\u2019s Michael Caines joins us in the studio to discuss it; The \\u201ccommon view\\u201d of atheists is that religion is a combination of cosmology (a theory of the universe) and morality (or how best to behave) \\u2013 but for the TLS\\u2019s Philosophy Editor Tim Crane this conception seems \\u201cdeeply inadequate\\u201d. Crane identifies a third category, too often ignored: religious practice itself. He joins us on the line to discuss the religion of belonging, along with this week\\u2019s other philosophy pieces; The Austrian author Marianne Fritz was hailed in the late 1970s as a literary wunderkind, for a debut novel that described the descent into madness of a young mother in post-war Vienna. But as the decades progressed, her work grew increasingly obscure: brilliant for some, maddening for others. Jane Yager offers her insights into the author often dubbed, perhaps unfairly, \\u201cthe female James Joyce\\u201d.
