And can we truly enjoy artworks by people who have committed crimes or been abusive to colleagues and family members?"I have a friend who has a Rolf Harris painting... It's a really great painting, and they bought it as an investment.. And then it all came out about his past and the imprisonment and stuff, and she's like, 'Well, what do we do with it now?'"Where do we draw the line between the art and the artist? And do we do a dis-service to the other creatives who collaborate on music and film projects by rejecting the work?"If you think about modern celebrities... no publicity is bad publicity. Where do you draw the line? Because there would be a lot of building those brands. The behaviour is notorious... and that can make someone really exciting."In this deep-dive discussion playwright and director Mary Swan hosts an important and often surprising inquiry into how we respond when culture and morality collide.Mary's guests for this episode areMary Rose, who has performed on Broadway alongside Kristin Scott Thomas in a Royal Court production of The Seagull, as well as an acclaimed one-woman show, 12.10.15 at the Edinburgh Festival.Mary plays artist Catherine Shaw in Proteus Theatre's stage production, Indestructible.Paul Huntley-Thomas appears in the Disney+ Marvel mini-series Secret Invasion and the 2DF Studios feature Lost Women Spies.
