“My connection to Apple is simply that it’s a beautiful piece of writing. Heartfelt and emotional but not sentimental. In the vein of ‘A Monster Calls’ - but here a simpler, subtle exploration of lasting affection and an understanding of grief and our place in the world. All told from the point of view of a young girl learning to cope with the harsh truths in her life. Apple is a wonderful example of the joy of what good storytelling can do.”

"The moment I read  Mr Apple I knew I wanted to be a part of it. Having been intimate with Ian's work for many decades, I knew the way to go would be to follow the performances  and tell the story as naturally and as unforced as possible. It has been an honour and an adventure to bring Apple to life!”
