Helena Bonham Carter is set to star in the miniseries "Saint Mazie" for Fable Pictures and Palantir Group based on Jami Attenberg's novel.
Bonham Carter will star as Mazie Gordon-Phillips, the real-life character who spent her days in the 1930s selling tickets at a movie theater which she eventually inherited, and in her spare time walked the streets of New York giving the homeless soap and sips of liquor from her flask.
Though barely moving beyond the perimeter of two square miles, she became a local legend who lifted the spirit of a community.
Clara Brennan will adapt the script while Faye Ward and Scott Lastaiti will produce.

Eric Lavallee: Name me three of your favorite “2014 discoveries”…
Sean Durkin: Jesse Marchant’s self titled album was my favorite of the year. I read “Stoner” by John Williams for the first time this year and was so deeply moved. I saw a play in London called Spine by Clara Brennan. Absolutely incredible writing.
Lavallee: Whether it be the thematic links in shorts and then features found in Antonio’s body of work, or Mary Last Seen as a leaf belonging to the Mmmm experience, and now 1009 as an emotional extension of Josh Mond’s James White, would it be fair to state that the short serves as an exploratory exercise in form, shape for the eventual feature?
Durkin: Absolutely. I think any time you get behind a camera you explore and learn. 1009 is much different in style than James White, but was a huge step towards discovering what James White would ultimately be.

Theatre Uncut's visionary series of political plays appeal as much for the ideas as the drama. And Strangers on a Train runs out of steam
What began as a hand grenade has ended up as a cluster bomb. Three years ago Hannah Price conceived the idea of Theatre Uncut, a political new writing company and different version of protest theatre. It ingeniously brings new technology to bear on traditional agitprop, combining live performance and instantaneous multiplication.
The scheme, in which Price was joined as artistic director by Emma Callender, was to commission short plays that reacted to current politics and would be free for a month for anyone to download and perform anywhere. The original spur was the coalition's public spending cuts. In 2012 work came from Egypt and Iceland, Greece and Spain. This year, having consulted its rapidly growing audience – an audience which even by Young...
