Practitioners on Practice... On Screenwriting: An interview with Andrew Davies
“Doing adaptations is very much like another way of teaching literature.”
Writer Andrew Davies, best-known for adapting some of literature’s greatest novels for television, such as Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace, discusses the cinematic potential of language and the process of bringing words to life on screen.
