Whose Life Is It Anyway?
Kirsty Lang and Kathryn Hughes review the new production of Brian Clark's 1978 play, in which a quadriplegic patient fights for the right to decide whether to live or not. Clark has rewritten the lead role for a woman, played in this production by Kim Cattrall - better-known to British audiences for her raunchy character Samantha in TV's "Sex And The City".

"Whose Life Is It Anyway?" is at the Comedy Theatre, London, until April 30th

On the day that the Heritage Lottery Fund announces which projects around the country have been earmarked for major grants, John Wilson explores the reactions of recipients - and discusses what this says about the value we place upon Heritage with Fiona Reynolds, director of the National Trust.

Kirsty Lang and Godfrey Barker review "The Triumph of Painting", the new exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery - in which Charles Saatchi focuses on paintings and painters.

"The Triumph Of Painting, Part 1" is at the Saatchi Gallery, London, until June 5th
