FROM PROSE TO SHOWS - THE ART OF ADAPTING A NOVEL INTO A PLAY

Great prose can sweep you right off your metaphorical feet in a way that no other art form possibly can. But it doesn't mean we can't try... Adapting a novel into a play is like walking on a wire across the Grand Canyon - it requires immense concentration, balance and attention to the most subtle of nuances. We invite you to a conversation with a few such brave souls who dared take on such a feat - and lived to tell all about it. Including Excerpts from four new plays.
