Summary: The Fault In Our Stars is the screen adaptation of John Green's best selling young adult novel about a pair of love struck teenagers both of whom are terminally ill with cancer. A second novel from Robert Galbraith - aka JK Rowling - The Silkworm merges an old fashioned detective story with Jacobean tragedy, whilst providing insight into literary London. David Schneider's new play Making Stalin Laugh - tells the story of the Moscow State Yiddish Theatre which in the 1920s was one of the most respected in the world. Making Colour was developed from the National Gallery's own internationally recognised Scientific Department's work into how artists historically overcame the technical challenges in creating colour. And The Human Factor: The Figure in Contemporary Sculpture brings together major works by leading international artists who have fashioned new ways of using the human form in sculpture over the past 25 years.
