David Farr write books, screenplays and plays. My novel for middle-range readers (8-12ish), The Book of Stolen Dreams has just come out so please take a look!
During this time He started to write more and more, for screen and stage. He adapted Kafka, Dickens, Gogol and Homer for the theatre. He wrote his own plays for adult and younger audiences (you can find them here) and He began to write for screen.
In 2010 his screenplay of Hanna was turned into a film by Joe Wright, starring Saoirse Ronan and Cate Blanchett. His television adaptation of The Night Manager was released by the BBC in 2015 starring Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie. He has also written a television version of Hanna for Amazon (three seasons) and is currently helming a new adaptation of John Wyndham's The Midwich Cuckoos for Sky, starring Keeley Hawes.
He takes the same approach to all forms. He lovea telling stories. That's why The Book of Stolen Dreams is so important to him. It's all about the power of stories, how important it is we keep telling them to each other, and how vital that we remain free to do so.
He started his career directing theatre, and ran three theatres in the UK, including The Lyric Theatre Hammersmith in London. He was also Associate Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company for five years until 2012.
