Why see this show?
The final chapter of a trilogy about historical women and the men who painted them rather too lovingly — Bebe Cave brings a comedian's eye to the pre-Raphaelites in a show that is genuinely pointed without taking itself too seriously. A smart 60 minutes for those who like their comedy with a bit of art history.
