THE Vulture

THIS could be a good week to catch up with those Oscarnominated movies, but if you’re looking for something new, you could do worse than check out a sparky British caper movie called The Bank Job, in which Jason Statham stars as a dodgy usedcar salesman getting involved in a crime that’s much too big for him. Read Chris Tookey’s review on pages 64-65.

ON SCREEN ON STAGE THE BANK JOB PUCCINI’S tragic heroine wails again as the doomed diva, as David Freeman’s production returns to the Albert Hall. Cynthia Lawrence and Paula Delligatti now alternate as Tosca, with Lawrence, a former trampolinist, making her character’s final death leap herself. Royal Albert Hall, until March 9.

Tickets from Pounds 21, 020 7838 3100.

ON SHOW DUCHAMP, MAN RAY, PICABIA TOSCA DUCHAMP took a urinal, called it ‘Fountain’, and tried to put it in an art gallery. It was rejected.

The one on display here is a replica: the ‘original’ is lost. Entertaining show that tells you how ‘modern art’ was invented. Includes Duchamp’s masterpiece: Nude Descending A Staircase.

Tate Modern until May 26.

ON TOUR ONEREPUBLIC RYAN TEDDER wrote Leona Lewis’s breakthrough hit Bleeding Love. But the American is also a star in his own right and he brings his band, OneRepublic, to the UK for a one-off gig on Wednesday at King’s College, London. Their current single, Stop And Stare, entered the Top Ten on download sales alone and they will also be previewing tracks from their new album, Dreaming Out Loud.

ON TV PHONE RAGE WHILE not for those wanting a mellow night in after an afternoon spent on hold, listening to broadband company call-waiting music and cultivating their stomach ulcer, the latest instalment of the Cutting Edge documentary series is a surprisingly sensitive, even-handed look at the rise of the call centre and its ‘wheel of hate’.
