In this final episode, acclaimed playwright, novelist and host of the Adventures in Radio podcast series, Barney Norris, talks to Rhiannon Tise about her radio adaptation of George Eliot’s The Mill on the Floss. What of the uniqueness of the radio drama form? What of a writer’s creative freedom when handling a pre-existing work? What of the constraints of form and structure? Enjoy Barney and Rhiannon discuss around all this and more in this last serving from the Adventures In Radio team at the Society of Authors.
Rhiannon’s radio adaptation of George Eliot’s The Mill on the Floss was directed and produced by Tracey Neale for BBC Radio 4. For full production credits please visit: BBC Sounds – The Mill on the Floss, by George Eliot.
