Starring, produced by and written by Vanessa Bailey, it’s been several years in the making, with reboots, re-envisioning, recasting… and with at least four directors at the helm! Why so long? Why so many incarnations? Put […]

I have been reliably informed that if we have already done French subtitles, that will work in our favour – and so […]
