Deborah Moggach in Conversation with David Gritten, film writer and critic for the Daily Telegraph
£6.00, £5.00 (conc)
Author of sixteen novels including the best-selling Tulip Fever, Deborah Moggach is also a prolific screenwriter, relishing the contrast between the interior world of the novel and the conflict-driven life of drama. As well as adapting many of her own novels for TV she was BAFTA nominated for her screenplay of Pride and Prejudice, starring Keira Knightly. The current hit film The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (screening at Berrington Hall on Friday 11 May) which she describes as “about outsourcing elderly Brits to India” is based on her 2004 novel These Foolish Things.

St Peter’s Church is situated at the centre of Peterchurch, a rural community in the heart of the Golden Valley and dates from the 10th century with a double chancel and magnificent Norman arches, one of which is highly decorated with carving from the Hereford school. The church has been recently and inventively renovated to provide a centre for public community events, a café and a library alongside a place of worship. A range of delicious, homemade refreshments will be on offer. |
This event forms part of BAFTA’s UK-wide learning and events programme, giving audiences across the country access behind the screens of the film, TV and video games industries. For more information visit www.bafta.org
