Questions for Bryony Lavery

Here are just a few questions I thought of for Bryony... Please do add your own and then we'll narrow the selection down to half a dozen or so. I'm happy to email her an invite and ask previous to sending questions if she'd be happy to answer them - good plan :)

Why did you decided not to name the character for the play?
Why do the Girl and Jean-Ives 'make love' unlike in the short story?
Why did you create the first scene?
What appealed to you when you were asked to write this adaption?
What influences your unique writing style?

If people have rewording suggestions please add them too xx

  2. Hey!
    My question is:
    'Why did you decide to not include the nanny's death in your adaptation, as i think it is such a tragic end to her journey in the story. It could effectively add a lot more emotion to her character from an audience members perspective? ..... or somethin along those lines, ur the good english student miss bateman xx

  3. I would like to ask:

    "As the strong, liberated female characters in the text (i.e the ex-wives) are dead, and it is the girl's mother who takes up the power and kills the Marquis, it is difficult to define this piece as a feminist text. When you wrote the play, were you trying to make any kind of statement on the role of women in society and the question of female empowerment? Do you have any opinions as to what Angela Carter was trying to say on this subject?"

    Thanks :0)
