Night Waves

David Reynolds

Isabel Hilton is joined by Pakistani human rights lawyer Asma Jahangir to discuss the plight of women in Pakistan and the worldwide rise of religious intolerance.

Historian David Reynolds talks about his TV series on the role of the political summit in shaping the course of history. From Hitler and Chamberlain to Reagan and Gorbachev, he reveals what really went on behind the scenes and how the leaders' personalities and chemistry were crucial to the political outcome.

Isabel discusses the Chinese film Still Life - a fictional story of ordinary life set against the backdrop of China's controversial Three Gorges Dam project and a recent surprise winner at the Venice Film Festival.

And as a modern production of Dido and Aeneas becomes the first play to be staged at a royal palace for many years, Isabel looks at the history of royal theatre.
