Have you ever wondered how a musical is written? At this year's Adelaide Cabaret Festival, the composer and lyricist Eddie Perfect is hosting an event that brings us into that process. Eddie joins us with Gillian Cosgriff whose new musical The Fig Tree will have a work-in-progress showing at the festival.

Also, in Patricia Cornelius's play Do Not Go Gentle, now on at the Sydney Theatre Company, we are out on the Antarctic ice with Robert Falcon Scott on his fateful expedition of 1912. But in this play Scott and his team are all in their 80s and we soon realise that nothing is what it seems.
