Sarah Wooley Festival

Sarah Wooley

Afternoon Drama: Festival is a comedy drama about festivals and the start of a legendary literary romance. Set in 1962, it tells the story of novelist Elizabeth Jane Howard as she takes on the challenging role of running the Cheltenham Literary Festival.

This BBC Scotland Production features a talented cast, including Melody Grove as Elizabeth Jane Howard, Tony Gardner as John Moore, and Jonathan Forbes as Kingsley Amis. The drama explores the complexities of relationships, particularly the tumultuous connection between Howard and Amis, who were married for many years before their acrimonious divorce in 1983.
