Sir Antony Sher stars in Ibsen's An Enemy of the People, the first production at The Crucible Theatre in Sheffield after its 15-million-pound two-year refit. Novelist Joanne Harris reviews the production and the new-look building.
Kirsty Young, chair of the judges of the 2010 Art Fund Prize for Museums and Galleries, reveals the long list for the UK's largest single arts prize. The 100,000-pound award will be made to a museum or gallery for a project completed in the last year.
