Ahead of the release of Apple TV’s highly-anticipated adaptation of Sarah Perry’s The Essex Serpent, Jane Garvey interviews director Clio Barnard.
Claire Danes and Tom Hiddleston star in this beautifully shot costume drama set in 1893. It follows the adventures of Cora Seaborne after she is released from an abusive marriage and relocates to a small village in Essex. There, she becomes intrigued by a mythical creature (the Essex Serpent) and finds herself drawn to the village vicar.
Clio sits down with Jane Garvey to discuss Kiera Knightley dropping out of the project, working with starry individuals and filming in the freezing marshes of Essex.
