This week, Thea Lenarduzzi and Michael Caines are joined by Jenni Quilter, the author of \u2018New York School Painters and Poets: Neon in daylight\u2019, to discuss the colourful and ceaselessly experimental work of the American artist Helen Frankenthaler; and Emma Smith, Professor of Shakespeare Studies at Hertford College, Oxford, reviews a radical (and watery) new production of \u2018Macbeth\u2019 that redeems the fallen world of this overfamiliar tragedy.
