David Fleming has trebled visitor numbers to Liverpool's main museums. He explains how he's done it and advises our museums not to panic at times like these when money's tight.

New Zealand film star Rena Owen (right) returns to the stage to play Aroha, the lead in Bruce Mason's The Pohutakawa Tree for the Auckland Theatre Company. It's as powerful and demanding, she says, as her film role of Beth Heke in Once Were Warriors.
