Welcome to Cultural Capital, the show where we pick out our favourite things from London’s amazing arts and culture.
In the show this week: we’re joining the team trying to reboot the rusty laptop - the Crystal Palace Concert Bowl, which has hosted gigs from the likes of Elton John, the Beach Boys, Gil Scott Heron, Dame Vera Lynn, and Bob Marley is being revitalised by the new the South Facing festival.
The actress taking over the role of Christine takes us behind the scenes to the villain’s lair as The Phantom of the Opera reopens at Her Majesty’s Theatre in the West End; we’re sitting down with Dickens at his writing desk in the Dickens Museum for Thing of the Week, and I’ll be telling you about the most bonkers film I’ve seen all year, Zola, which was born out of a viral thread on twitter.
Enjoy!
