Andrew O’Hagan’s Mayflies is an achingly moving account of friendship and loss – and now a celebrated screen adaptation. O’Hagan is joined by two members of the production team: screenwriter Andrea Gibb and executive producer of Synchronicity Films, Claire Mundell, to talk about the creative journey of adapting the novel. Chaired by Hannah Griffiths, head of literary acquisitions at All3Media.

In partnership with Edinburgh TV Festival and Publishing Scotland. Supported by The School of Arts and Creative Industries at Edinburgh Napier.

Categories: Fiction, Film/TV/Media, Friendship, Writing/Publishing
