1. A powerful, violent film

Horror maestro David Cronenberg takes another departure from his usual self-penned surreal horror fare to work once again with his leading actor from A History of Violence, Viggo Mortensen.

2. Join Adrian on ‘depraved journey’

‘A depraved journey of lust/lunacy and murder’ – I quote from the press release – doesn’t sound like a recipe for laughs.

3. A night out at Malmaison

On the outside Malmaison may look like an 18th century manor house, but as you step inside you are instantly embraced by an environment filled with a design that is very much modern day urban chic.

4. Liv Roche

Liv Roche is only 18, but she has already made a sizeable impact on the local music scene, she won a nationwide talent search in 2004 and most recently beat two signed bands to have her song 'Tension' played on BBC Radio Berkshire.

Listen to 'Tension' here, as well as an extensive biography and two further tracks.

5. Where her heart is

Returning to the boards after a 15-year-break was a scary prospect for Where The Heart Is actress Lesley Dunlop.

6. Second portrayal

First it was Switchback and now it is Double Death.

In other words, actor-writer Simon Williams has done a make-over of one of his earlier plays and is directing the new version himself under its new title at The Mill at Sonning.
