SR: Arden of Faversham, Joseph O'Connor's novel, Frank, Lily Allen's album 10 May 14

Summary: Joseph O'Connor's novel The Thrill of it All is the story of 25 years in the life of an aspiring Anglo-Irish rock band who seem fated to never quite make the big time. The latest play to open at the RSC’s Swan Theatre in Stratford-Upon-Avon is Arden of Faversham, a revenge tragedy whose authorship is unknown. The film Frank stars one of cinema's most handsome, sought-after actors Michael Fassbender playing a man who wears a large papier-mache head all the time. Amanda Vickery's BBC2 series The Story of Women and Art aims to rediscover the great forgotten female artists of the past in the world of fine art. Lily Allen's album Sheezus is a comeback after three years away.
