Andrew Davies

by Colin.

It was the Nuns, I also had always wondered about the Nuns.

Andrew Davies explained about the Nuns and so much more.

Here was a writer at ease, at peace with himself and his craft.This is writing at the sharp end, needing consummate skill, rewriting fiction, creating images, bringing literature to life on the small screen.

This was a journey that took the audience from a most Peculiar Practice, to little Dorrit, Sense and Sensibility,Tipping the velvet, House of cards, Bleak house, a treasure trove of adaptations.

Over and over during cultural exchanges I have seen writers like Andrew Davies explain their success. Work, application and tenacity.

It was an extremely interesting talk.

  1. I enjoyed his being at ease with yourself attitude. He never came off as arrogant, but more inspiring. Showing a variety of his work, with the odd inspiring comment here and there made this a worth while visit.
