Sample Text:

Narrator:             I came to Manderley as Max’s wife. Of course, I knew he had been married before. But that was supposed to be in the past. You, Mrs. Danvers, made it my present!

Mrs. Danvers:     I was never going to let anyone take my Rebecca’s place!

Rebecca:             (Sniggering) As if she could? I mean, seriously. Look at her! What on earth did you see in her, Maxim?

Maxim:                Everything that I didn’t see in you! Sweetness, honesty, kindness, purity

Rebecca:             Oh, come on! You’re going to break my heart!

Maxim:                You don’t have one – a heart, that is! I just feel so angry at myself for not seeing your game, Mrs. Danvers. That night

Narrator:             (Interrupting) Surely the worst of my life! I’ll never, Max, forget the look on your face!

Mrs. Danvers:     (Chuckling) It was rather dramatic. Beholding the transformation of this so-called second Mrs. de Winter (pauses) into

Rebecca:             Me! The only true Mrs. de Winter. Mrs. de Winter number one!

As with all projects undertaken, only time will tell if there is any interest amongst my customers, present and future! Enjoy! (And feed back to me! I am happy to write a full adaptation in line with my other classic adaptations, if preferred!)
