Hello all,



I have renewed the three borrowed copies of Stephen

King's DIFFERENT SEASONS, so you are free to keep them

until our next workshop.



For those of you who could not attend today's session,

I have copies of duMaurier's writer's notebook for

REBECCA. Let me know when you would like to pick up

your copy.



To prepare for our next workshop, read the writer's

notebook for REBECCA and then read the novel. Compare

the two. At the workshop on January 17th (Mary's

birthday!), we will discuss the novel as it compares

to the writer's notebook and listen to a reading of

REBECCA recorded by Anna Massey, a stage and screen

actress. After a party featuring healthy, fresh

appetizers, those of you who want to stay can see

director Alfred Hitchcock's film REBECCA on the big

screen. Adapted from the novel by Philip MacDonald and

Michael Hogan; screenplay by Robert E. Sherwood and

Joan Harrison; starring Lawrence Olivier and Joan

Fontaine in the leading roles. It's a four-star film,

but how does it compare to the novel? You decide. We

will begin the film at noon. Running time is 2 hours,

9 minutes.



See you on the 17th. :)



S.
