| Half way through watching this & thoroughly enjoying it (must read the book). Has a stage adaptation ever been attempted? | |

| JENNY VILLIERS. It's a lovely affirmation of a life in the theater. Priestly also adapted it into one of the first television dramas which was broadcast in 1948. | |

| Not that I know, but I could see it. Great cast. Now watch THE BRETTS after, to see English theatre just after the war. :) Laura |

| Yes, I could see it working on stage too. Thanks for the tip about THE BRETTS - I see the complete series (950 minutes!) is available for pre-order in the UK. | |

| If you liked UPSTAIRS, DOWNSTAIRS and THE DUCHESS OF DUKE STREET, you'll like this. Rosemary Anne Sissons, who was a key writer for those series, created it. I like the three generations of a theatrical family (hell, I like anything with Frank Middlemass--though he's not a regular here), the clash between theatre and the growing film industry, and those costumes, cars, and airplanes! Not all storylines work, but it was still fun. Laura, decked in Astros orange |
