» Reviews: Brighton Festival Fringe – Oscar Wilde’s Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime

Oscar Wilde is remembered for his wit and humour, but a certain flippancy with ethics he so enjoyed also took a darker turn, as shown in The Picture Of Dorian Gray and, less famously, Lord Arthur Savile. Lord Arthur Savile invited us into his dining room for a delicious three course meal and delectable tales of his crimes, set into motion by a party favour and skillfully reenacted by Lord Arthur and his rather talented valet. This was a rich, delicious, glorious evening set in a splendid room that, having already eaten two courses in it by the time the play commenced, acclimatised us beautifully to Wilde’s aesthetically refined world. Less a testa of a show, so typical in the Fringe, but a meal to thoroughly enjoy.

» Brighton Lights 31

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk

» Artists Open Houses

AOH Special: It’s Festival time in Brighton & Hove, which means the Artists Open Houses have opened their doors for another year! Maps of all the trails can be picked up across the city. We love nothing better than browsing and buying arts and crafts, and there is so much going on throughout May that we’ve made it easier by bringing the Artists Open Houses to you! We have 11 special programmes, featuring artists in their own houses. So here’s your chance to go ‘through the keyhole’ so to speak as we visit the artists in their own environment.
