Adaptations and upcomming projects.

On Monday ,I had a call from Peter who will be directing us in The Little Prince,asking me If I would do some last minute revisons/corrections in french, on his draft of Camus L'etranger. Now L'etranger, or The Stanger by Camus is one of the seminal works of French Litterature, ( http://www.gradesaver.com/ClassicNotes/Titles/stranger/) and as far as I know this will be one of the first times that it has been adapted for the stage. It's an exiting project, and going through the script I realised how hard it is to convey the atmosphere of the novel in a script and also how hard it is to construct dialogue from such a wordy and litterary piece as The Stranger.

Anyway, I spent most of yesterday going through it ,and got it back in time for Peter to send to the editors. Suffice to say that on paper it's an exiting project and I hope that I will be able to be part of it on some level...

This little excercise also spurned me to apply for the rights for U.S.D.B ( Sorry but am keeping the full title for myself until rights have been secured. ) so now I am waiting for the answer....and will keep you posted..
