    Oh I wish I could go there… I LOVE Andrew Davies’ work. If someone actually is going, please make notes and post them here! :D

    A Room with a View? I didn’t find it listed that he did that screenplay. Is this a new adaptation in the works?

  5. Heather L Says:

    Room with a View is a new adaptation in pre-production. It’s not listed at IMDB yet, but this article in the Daily Mail has some casting and filming details.

    Room With a View? Really!?!?!? One of my all time favoritest books.

    I’d LOVE to get anyone’s notes from this - would be perfect for my thesis on Austen adaptations….

    Just wanted to say that Hay-on-Wye is the setting for one of my all time favourite novels “Lady of Hay” by Barbara Erskine. If you haven’t already read it, it’s a great read.
