An interview with Sebastian Barry – Thanks to Marie-Thérèse for the find.

Nothing about Jonathan...


Let me ask you about some news I just heard regarding The Secret Scripture, that it’s going to be made into a film and the heroine, Roseanne McNulty, who is condemned to life in an asylum by an unholy alliance of revolutionary politics and the Catholic Church, will be played by Jessica Chastain and, as an older woman, by Vanessa Redgrave. That’s marvelous casting …

 It is. Jim Sheridan [My Left Foot and In The Name of the Father] will direct. I think they’re scheduled to start filming in the fall.
