Reading Hilary Mantel
From the ghosts which reside in Midlands council houses in Every Day is Mother's Day to the resurrected historical dead of the Booker Prize-winning Wolf Hall and Bring up the Bodies, the writings of Hilary Mantel are often haunted by supernatural figures.

This edition features the author's revised version of the script presented at the Hampstead Theatre in April 2009.
