From Page to Screen

Writers Matt Baker, David Quantick and Louise Willder discuss adapting stories between books, television and film at Whitby Lit Fest.

Whitby Lit Fest hosts a conversation about adaptation, asking what gets lost, gained and transformed when stories move between page and screen. Matt Baker, writer of Hotel Portofino and Patience, joins Emmy-winning David Quantick (Veep, The Thick of It) and Louise Willder, author of The Book Was Better. The hour-and-a-half session ends with the perennial question: was the book better?
