Daniel Handler says of Muriel Spark's Not To Disturb: ”Servants gather outside a locked door to make sure a murder goes smoothly. My favorite episode of Downton Abbey that sadly does not exist.”
She will be found tomorrow morning dead from multiple stab-wounds, her wrists bound with a silk scarf and her ankles bound with a man’s necktie, in the grounds of an empty villa, in a park of the foreign city to which she is travelling on the flight now boarding at Gate 14.
I have decided that I will be directing an adaptation of Spark’s fantastic The Driver’s Seat for my advanced directing class - I’m very excited!
