The BBC has announced the shows that will make up its Autumn ‘Culture in Quarantine’ season.

The West End production of Uncle Vanya will be broadcast on BBC Four on a date to be confirmed. It is anticipated that it will be streamed to cinemas before its TV premiere before the year-end. The show stars Peter Wight, Anna Calder-Marshall, Rosalind Eleazar, Roger Allam, Toby Jones, Richard Armitage, Aimee Lou Wood and Dearbhla Molloy.

New piece Opera Mums, by Bryony Kimmings and Daisy Asquith, follows a group of single mums who create a new opera in three days, alongside composer Vahan Salorian.

Matthew Bourne’s The Red Shoes will be shown on BBC Two after it has been shown in cinemas at the end of this month.

Esteemed creatives including Ken Loach, Richard Eyre and Mike Leigh will look back on the BBC’s Play for Today scheme, with some of the old classics being shown on BBC Four over coming months.

A series of concerts and literature will be performed live at London’s Southbank Centre, in partnership with BBC Radio 3. BBC Arts will also celebrate British dance, in collaboration with Sadler’s Wells.

A collection of monologues (Crip Tales), written, directed and performed by disabled people has been created by disabled writer and actor Mat Fraser. He said: "I'm thrilled to be curating this exciting, surprising and revealing series of monologues around the disabled experience for the BBC. Disabled voices have been shut out of mainstream TV drama for too long and this is a chance to showcase some of the wonderful, inventive, funny, dramatic, sexy and sobering potential available.”
