The Theory of Everything: The Screenplay by Anthony Mccarten
Based on Jane Hawking’s best-selling memoir Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen, Anthony McCarten’s screen adaptation for the hit movie The Theory of of Everything, starring Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones, is one of the most talked about and award-worthy scripts of the film season. In the film, we follow Jane and Stephen Hawking from their first meeting to the first signs of Stephen’s illness and their wedding, through to the challenges of having to deal with disability and unexpected success – and the strain this puts on the loving couple’s relationship. The result is a feat of cinematic brilliance and screenwriting bravura from the author of several acclaimed novels.
An elegant, witty, compassionate script that centres on the complex relationship between Stephen and Jane Hawking-- David Seidler, author of the screenplay for The King's Speech
Anthony McCarten's debut novel, Spinners, won international acclaim, and was followed by The English Harem and the award winning Death of a Superhero, all three books being translated into many languages. McCarten has also written twelve stage plays, including the worldwide success Ladies' Night, which won France's Moliere Prize, the Meilleure Piece Comique, in 2001. Also a film-maker, he has thrice adapted his own plays or novels into feature films which he directed himself.
