Additional information
The development of the screen idea is a dynamic, interactive process, involving a range of documents and collaborators. This article considers the extra layer that adaptation from prose fiction to script adds to this process, taking the example of the short story Don't Look Now, by Daphne du Maurier, adapted for the screen by Allan Scott and Chris Bryant and subsequently directed by Nicolas Roeg (1973). The article proposes the palimpsest as a useful figure through which to understand the screenwork as constructed through the various layers that have contributed to its genesis: producing a multiple rather than a singular entity.
