Why bother reinventing the wheel? Especially when what you come up with is square and nothing like a wheel.

 Yep. That was part of the awfulness. Giving Mr. and Mrs. Ramsay forenames didn't help much either.

Didn't that BBC film version ofTo the Lighthouse feature a frisky young Kenneth Branagh as the insufferable Charles Tansley?

Elisa and Trudi are both reminding me of the (dreadful) film version ofTo the Lighthouse. Adaptations/interpretations are sometimes exceptionally disrespectful to the original text, and the BBCTTL 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
