Been a busy first month or two as arts correspondent. I guess highlights would be:

*Jack Thorne's play at the National;
*An interview with Mat Collishaw;
*Nigerian protests forcing cancellation of a Sotheby's auction (followed by The New York Times and the BBC);
*An interview with James Rhodes;
*Coverage of protests at the Turner Prize;
*Patrick Stewart's complaints about Broadway (followed by The Daily Express)
*Behind the scenes on Peter and the Wolf at the ROH, whose director, Tony Hall, I also interviewed;
*The suspension of the Royal Opera House's move North;
*A page three on Bob Marley;
*A splash on Joanna Yeates.
