In this WFT Writers’ Room podcast, WFT Administration Executive Gemma Creagh examines the ins and outs of adaptation with Suzanne Allain.

Suzanne has written the screenplay for Mr. Malcolm’s List, which was released in cinemas earlier this year. Shot in Dublin/Wicklow last Spring, this film stars Freida Pinto and Zawe Ashton and is based on Suzanne’s original novel. WFT spoke with her about the writing process and what it was like adapting work – even if it’s your own.
