“It was going to be impossible and maybe not that interesting to try and create cinematic realism because we can’t shoot outdoors and we only have one location really and it’s a stage,” said O’Connor. “So initially it was like, ‘Well, let’s not shy away from the fact that we are on a stage. Let’s celebrate that.’”
The retelling is directed by Simon Godwin and reconceived by writer Emily Burns for the screen. It was shot over 17 days in December at the National s Lyttelton theater. PBS “Great Performances” will air it Friday.
