Why Tina Turner was 'adamant' that the violence of her past be put on stage

Tina Turner's phenomenal success in the 1960s and 70s masked the destructive tempest of her personal life. Now, her powerful story is laid open in Tina: The Tina Turner Musical. It features Tina's hits with a book written by the Pulitzer and Olivier Award-winner Katori Hall — a renowned chronicler of the black experience in the American South.

Also, The Darlinghurst Theatre Company's sell-out production of the romantic musical Once returns to play its biggest stage yet and we learn about a new play from Northern Ireland that sheds light on the private struggles of young people in out-of-home care.
