There is a reason I love short stories as much as I do. Show me a city, I'll write you a novel; read me a short story and you sing the whole planet. Yes I know that seems counter-instinctual.

Reviewing theatre in the summer is a fool’s game. Unless you’re in Edinburgh, or anywhere outside with your head in a bucket of Pimms, you’re an idiot. The notable exception this year is These Trees Are Made of Blood, a cabaret set in Argentina currently showing at the Arcola Theatre; fortunately the show perfectly suits the muggy, still heat of an unventilated brick building in the middle of a heat wave. It is dark, loud and hot. Half naked men...

Archaeologists have uncovered one of the oldest prosthetic body parts in human history - a 3,000 year old wooden toe. The intricately crafted big toe, which even includes a carved-out toenail, was discovered in a female burial from the necropolis of Sheikh 'Abd el-Qurna, in Egypt. Study of the toe - using hi-tech methods including microscopy, X-ray technology, and computer tomography - even reveals it was refitted several times to the foot of its owner, a priest's daughter.

Today's Queen’s Speech was stripped of so many of Theresa May’s unpopular manifesto promises such as winter fuel allowance cuts that it seemed Her Majesty couldn’t be bothered to put her customary regal crown and furs on to get down to business but appeared in a powder blue outfit fit for her dash to catch the 2.30pm first race at Royal Ascot, more importantly. Instead of their vote losing and controversial manifesto commitments, Conservatives were briefing that they would seek policies...

A former drug addict has helped transform Afghanistan's notorious heroin fields into fruit farms - and created a new energy bar in the process.
