This week’s fifteen minute drama on Radio 4 is , based on the novel by Mrs Oliphant.  Margaret Oliphant, better known as Mrs Oliphant,  published nearly one hundred novels and her portrayals of provincial life have been compared to George Eliot and Anthony Trollope. But over the years Mrs Oliphant has been neglected. This new dramatisation by writers Kate Clanchy and Zena Forster brings to life the remarkable women portrayed in her novel  Hester, first published in 1883.  Jenni speaks to the two dramatists about Mrs Oliphant’s life and works and the process of distilling a 200,000 word novel into a 12,000 word play.
