‘Matilda The Musical’ Scribe Dennis Kelly Penning BBC Adaptation Of Andy West’s Prison Memoir ‘The Life Inside’
The BBC is making a TV series of Andy West prison memoir 'The Life Inside' from Dennis Kelly and Sister, the producer of 'Black Doves'.
His book, which was critically acclaimed, sees him discuss pressing questions of truth, identity and hope with his students, as he searches for his own form of freedom. Featherstone referenced the then-under-wraps Kelly project during a bombshell culture committee hearing a few weeks back, when she revealed that the BBC has a number of scripted shows on its slate that it “can’t fund,” a fact the BBC and big-name writers like Peter Kosminsky have since acknowledged. The news comes a few days before the London Book Fair, the annual publishing confab at which TV and film execs will descend on the Hammersmith Olympia seeking out the next big adaptation.
