Richard Dreyfuss and David Suchet star in Joe Sutton's new play (directed by Kevin Spacey), about a journalist facing a grand jury.
Watch the panel's verdict
Dreyfuss plays Ben Kritzer, a Pulitzer prize-winning journalist, who could be facing an espionage charge and a decade-long prison sentence because he refuses to reveal his source for his book about CIA black sites.
Kritzer wishes to stick to the universal code of practice that states that journalists have a moral obligation to protect confidential sources of information.
He also is looking to absolve himself from blame after a previous column he wrote following 9/11, in which he justified the need for torture, a stance he now regrets.
Elizabeth McGovern plays Kritzer's wife Judy, who, along with their lawyer Roger (David Suchet), tries to convince him that it isn't worth defying the prosecutor and risking a jail sentence.
Complicit is at the Old Vic, London until 21 February, 2009.
ARCHITECTURE | Andrea Palladio: His Life and Legacy
Italian architect Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) is arguably the most influential and imitated architect in history.
Watch the panel's verdict
His classical style can be seen today in some of the world's most famous buildings, including the White House in Washington and St Paul's Cathedral in London.
Many British houses have strong Palladian echoes, from Georgian terraces to flashy footballer's mansions.
The Royal Academy are celebrating Palladio's 500th anniversary with a major exhibition. It is the first show dedicated to him in 30 years.
Using a combination of his plans, paintings and models, it attempts to create a sense of Palladio's working world and practices in the Venice Region in 16th Century, where he found great success building palaces, churches and villas for aristocrats.
The show also features original drawings and sketches from his famous books, which are still essential reading for architects today.
Britain's buildings would be unthinkable without Palladio's influence. But does this exhibition do him justice?
Andrea Palladio: His Life and Legacy runs from 31, January until 13, April 2009 at the Royal Academy of Arts, London.
This collection showcases the works of more than 20 contemporary artists, many of whom are exhibiting in Britain for the first time.
