It's been many years since I watched Prick Up Your Ears. I'm screening it now and pausing during every Julie Walters scene because she's so funny she's killing me and I laugh so much I can't hear the other actors. OMG Gary Oldman as Joe Orton auditioning for RADA with a scene from Peter Pan. 😅😂🤣

Not kidding about the audiobook with narrators Mia Hutchinson-Shaw and Coleen Marlo. Producers made a great decision dividing the book into the voices of Parker Dillon (third person limited) and Ann Mason (direct address via letters, emails, and audio recordings). Up close and unnerving.
