Literary adaptations: February 22, 2024

Here's a news roundup exclusively on adaptations or productions of literature.

• Meet Amy Herzog, who's become known as a "Henrik Ibsen whisperer" for the number of times she's brought the Norwegian playwright's work to the stage, and who now has a production of her own (The New York Times). 

• The cast and creative team behind the Broadway musical adaptation of S.E. Hinton's classic The Outsiders visited Tulsa, Oklahoma, to look behind the curtains of the novel, so to speak (The New York Times). 

• If you enjoyed these particular Academy Award-nominated films, be sure to thank the authors whose work inspired them (Publishers Weekly).
