Macbeth is dead. Under cover of night, an English army has swept through the landscape, killed the tyrant and taken the seat of power. Dunsinane is a thrilling sequel to Shakespeare's Macbeth by award-winning playwright David Greig.

Attempting to restore peace and put in place a new ruler, the commanding officer is beset by a brutal guerrilla uprising and simmering discontent among his own inexperienced troops. Struggling to grasp the alien customs and politics of this harsh country, he finds himself drawn towards the tyrant's powerful widow in search of someone to share his burden of responsibility. Increasingly isolated from his own men and Scottish allies alike, his efforts to restore order appear futile as the situation spins out of control.

Greig's exhilarating play is a vision of one man's attempt to restore peace in a country ravaged by war.

Directed by Roxana Silbert, the cast includes Jonny Phillips as Siward, Siobhan Redmond as Gruach, Jack Farthing as The Boy Soldier, Brian Ferguson as Malcolm, Ewan Stewart as Macduff, Alex Mann as Egham, Daniel Rose as Edward, Joshua Jenkins as Eric, Sandy Grierson as Lulach and Lisa Hogg as Hen Girl.

Original songs and music, composed by Nick Powell, are performed by Alex Lee, Sarah Wilson and Lisa Hogg.

Gillian Darley tells the forgotten story of Elisabeth Scott, the young female architect who, in 1928, beat over 70 contenders in an international competition to design the first Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford Upon Avon at a time when women her age didn't even have the vote.

As the newly refurbished Royal Shakespeare Theatre prepares to launch its opening production this coming April, Gillian pieces together the story of Elisabeth, the original architect.

She was the first British woman architect ever to win a major international competition. When her design was chosen for the new theatre (the previous one had been almost completely destroyed in a fire) her name was on the front pages of newspapers across the country, but she is now largely overlooked.

Gillian seeks out architectural experts, feminist writers and elderly female architects to find out about the first generation of women architects. After considerable research, she finds an elderly relative and a former colleague of Scott's who help her paint a vivid and poignant portrait of an architect whose final projects included a small civic theatre at the end of Bournemouth pier, though her legacy is still to be seen on the banks of the Avon.

Hercules And Love Affair bring their brand of uplifting house and disco to the BBC 6 Music airwaves.

The brainchild of New York DJ and producer Andy Butler, Hercules set tongues wagging three years ago with the release of their disco-infused debut on James Murphy's DFA Recordings. Its stand-out track, Blind – featuring the vocals of Mercury Award-winner Antony Hegarty – became an underground hit, with a remix by legendary producer Frankie Knuckles setting the blogs alight. Since then Butler has toured all over the world, worked with musical hero August Darnell from Kid Creole And The Coconuts and raided the sounds of Eighties Chicago for his sophomore album, Blue Songs, out later this month.

In his 6 Mix, Andy plays a selection of classic disco and house music which inspired the new LP, alongside some of his current favourite music making New York dance floors move.

Listeners can also hear Andy choose his lunchtime playlist with Nemone on Friday.
