Here I am talking with Brian Sibley and Bournemouth Writing Festival Director Dominic Wong about our festival event The Art of Adaptation & Other Fantastic Stories (27 April). At the festival we will talk about adapting fiction for audio, and explore the deep well of classic British fantasy fiction.
The Inside Story on Adapting From Book to Radio and Other Media. Brian Sibley and Gary Dalkin will be talking about adapting novels to the screen, audiobooks and radio at 4:30pm on Saturday 27th April 2024 at the Pavilion Dance. Brian Sibley’s career spans a 1976 Radio 4 celebration of Winnie the Pooh to editing the posthumous Tolkien collection, The Fall of Númenor (2022). Alongside writing books and presenting countless BBC programmes on all aspects of literature, he is celebrated for his epic radio dramatisations of The Lord of The Rings and C.S. Lewis’ Narnia Chronicles, and of books by Mervyn Peake, Ray Bradbury, T. H. White, Richard Adams, JK Rowling, Road Dahl and others. In conversation with the editor and writer Gary Dalkin, Brian Sibley will discuss adapting fiction specifically for an audio medium, as well as giving advice into sustaining a writing career and the inspirations to be found deep in the great well of classic British fantasy fiction.
