Banned books from Ireland’s room of ‘evil literature’ finally see the light of day

The Body review – this sexy retro high school drama is like Cruel Intentions … with added Satanic rituals

This coming-of-age tale of Catholic school girls is gleefully camp from the off – and full of fun references to its 2004 setting.

Perched at the top is the dance troupe, the Lions, presided over by Anya (Kristina Bogic) and Elise (Sara Boustany), two best friends skirting around their sexual chemistry. The show

And I want the Sainsbury Centre to show me. This big winter series tackles love in all its guises – and for now comprises two shows, one about smooching called The Last Human Kiss, another about desire and heartbreak called Ecstasy and the Aftermath.

Sheherazaad: Khudgarzi review | Ammar Kalia's global album of the month

(Erased Tapes) Dreamy, reverb-laden arrangements, virtuosic vocals and echoes of PJ Harvey and Massive Attack make this disarming debut a one-of-a-kind creation Since the release of her debut EP, Qasr, in 2024, south Asian-American vocalist and composer Sheherazaad has developed a distinctive take on the classical singing of her heritage. While her contemporaries such as the singers Ganavya and Manizeh draw on spiritual vocal traditions, and Arooj Aftab on jazz and folk instrumentation, Sheherazaad’s work is darker and far more introspective, using sparse acoustic arrangements to create a styl
