Auditions, Adaptations and Law Suits

Goalhanger
About this episode

Do all actors have to audition and what is the modern audition process? How do you translate a book to a film or even a theatre production? Can it be a simple copy and paste? Plus how do shows such as Mr Bates vs. The Post Office avoid law suits from those that are shown in what could be described as, an unfavourable light?


Those questions and more tackled by Richard and Marina on The Rest Is Entertainment.
