And yet, out of the greatest suffering, something of extraordinary wonder is born.This new play based on Maggie OFarrells bestselling novel and adapted by awardwinning playwright Lolita Chakrabarti (Life of Pi, Red Velvet, Hymn), pulls back a curtain on the imagined family life of the greatest writer in the English language.
