[spoilers] Nicola Walker

[pepelow]

I am not at all surprised that the play will be on the NT Live roster. The book is beloved by millions since it was first published, and is a prescribed text in many schools around the world. So there is already a "built-in" audience for the play.

This will raise Nicola's profile immeasurably. I am soooo happy and excited for her. She will be fabulous as Christopher's mother, as long as the playwright gives her character more lines than the book did. CAN-NOT-WAIT to watch this live on stage!
