John Osborne first offered Look Back in Anger to Derby Theatre, but it was rejected.

Samira Ahmed talks to the director Sarah Brigham and Benedict Nightingale, who as a young critic, saw the original production.
Tanita Tikaram rose to fame in the 1980s with the album Ancient Heart. It sold 4m copies and produced four chart singles including Twist in My Sobriety. The singer discusses her new album Closer to the People which is influenced by Anita O'Day, Philip Glass and Thelonious Monk.
