Sydney Writers' Festival Live and Local: Great Adaptations

The State Library and Archives of Tasmania is delighted to be bringing you Sydney Writers' Festival Live and Local again this year.

You can enjoy livestreams straight from this wonderful literary festival in the comfort of your own library.

Get behind-the-scenes insight into adapting stories from page to screen with writers Mick Herron (Slow Horses) and Suzie Miller (Prima Facie) in conversation with Benjamin Law.

Screen adaptations breathe new life into books, expanding their audiences and reimagining their worlds.

Crime writer Mick Herron’s Slough House thriller series was adapted into the award-winning Apple TV series Slow Horses, starring Gary Oldman, and playwright Suzie Miller’s Prima Facie received international acclaim, including a Laurence Olivier Award, before it was adapted into both a novel and a film.

Get behind-the-scenes insight into the adaptation process and how reimagining their stories has influenced their careers, with Mick and Suzie in conversation with host Benjamin Law.
