Adaptations of Novels

In 2001 Charlotte Gray was made into a film starring Cate Blanchett and directed by Gillian Armstrong. In 2010 a stage version of Birdsong, adapted by Rachel Wagstaff (who had previously adapted The Girl at the Lion D'or for radio) and directed by Trevor Nunn, opened at the Comedy Theatre in London; the production ran for only 4 months. In 2012, Birdsong was made into a two-part BBC TV serial, written by Abi Morgan, directed by Philip Martin and starring Eddie Redmayne. This followed several abortive attempts to film the novel.
