Michael Sheen, Matthew Bourne on Oliver! and ghostwriting

Michael Sheen on the Welsh National Theatre, Matthew Bourne on Oliver! and the 30th anniversary tour of his all-male Swan Lake, plus why some ghostwriters want more recognition.

Actor Michael Sheen explains how he was rehearsing his role as the creator of the NHS, Nye Bevan when he heard about the demise of National Theatre Wales and decided to make plans for a new organisation, using some of his own money. Matthew Bourne talks about his new stage production of the musical Oliver! and the 30th anniversary tour of his groundbreaking version of the ballet Swan Lake. The society of authors has asked for Ghostwriters to be recognised, particularly when celebrities are involved. We speak to two ghostwriters about this potentially secretive process.
