Heyer TodayNot by inches - FINALE feat. screenwriter Olivia Hetreed “The thing that had to change most fundamentally [in The Grand Sophy] is that Sophy is simply untroubled…she always has the upper hand, she always has the answer and she’s always outwitting everybody. For the film…if a character is completely unassailable, it becomes frustrating. You have to find the kryptonite, you have to find what would make her vulnerable, and what would make her unsure of herself. If she’s being so bold and outrageous, what are the consequences?’ – Olivia Hetreed on adapting The Grand Sophy into a film Welcome to our final episode...2022-01-182h 10
Heyer TodayLoving Literature’s Bad Boys – is it problematic? “One of the great gifts that Freud has given to our culture is that our sexual fantasies are not to be censored in any way.
