Cultural Capital - welcome to this week’s edition of London’s brilliant new culture show
Today we’re visiting the new Serpentine Pavilion in Kensington Gardens, designed by the Johannesburg-based architecture practice Counterspace (who knows, maybe one day soon we’ll be legally allowed to gather in it), and we’ll be popping into rehearsals for Riverside Studios’ new production of Samuel Beckett’s Happy Days to find out why, 60 years after its first performance, it’s still a play for our times.
Our lovely Thing of the Week this week comes from the glorious Wallace Collection in Manchester Square, and I’ll be reviewing the multi-award-winning film, The Father. The debut feature film by the French playwright Florian Zeller that ended up getting nominated for a Best Picture Oscar (and won Anthony Hopkins Best Actor into the bargain), it’s knockout, in more ways than one.
We hope you enjoy it!
