[Vwoolf] Dramatisations of VW

[Neverow, Vara S.]

Elisa and Trudi are both reminding me of the (dreadful) film version of To the Lighthouse. Adaptations/interpretations are sometimes exceptionally disrespectful to the original text, and the BBC TTL reading sounds very annoying.

Best,

Dear Elisa,

Thanks for the warning. A few months ago I heard part of an adaption of
To the Lighthouse on the BBC Sounds app. Usually the BBC readings are
outstanding, but the adaptations of VW can be variable. This version of
TTL had Mr Ramsay saying something like 'I am always right. It's what I
do', sounding bizarrely like Chandler from Friends. This adaptation
didn't seem to have much sense of Woolf's prose. I wonder if that's in
the same collection that you have?

Juliette Stevenson's readings of the full novels on Naxos, by contrast,
are I think extremely good.

Best wishes,
Trudi
