What to see and do this weekend: From a breezy new album to a summery Shakespeare show, the Mail's critics pick the very best of movies, music and theatre


Awesome new albums, spectacular stage performances and a host of fantastic films - they are all featured in our critics' picks of the best of music, theatre and film.

They have endured internal squabbles and overcome Spinal Tap travails that saw gigs cancelled or abandoned due to high winds (Benicàssim in Spain), a tour bus fire (London’s O2 Arena), and, most bizarrely, a stage invasion by pigeons (St Louis, Missouri). In real life, the age gap between 41-year-old Anne Hathaway and 29-year-old Mary & George star Nicholas Galitzine is just 12 years, but in The Idea Of You it’s been expanded to 16, presumably to underline the point its makers want to make about how unfairly society treats couples where the woman is the older partner. David Leitch’s film is notionally inspired by the 1980s TV series of the same title, and centres on Ryan Gosling’s Colt Seavers, the best ‘fall guy’ in the business, who risks life and limb for the greater glory of a narcissistic star, Tom Ryder ( Aaron Taylor-Johnson).
