Ruth Wilson in BBC adaptation of Andrea Levy's Small Island


I've just been told about this so I thought I would stick it here first.

One of my favorite actresses, Ruth Wilson, has been cast in a BBC drama adaptation of Andrea Levy's WW2-era novel Small Island. Here's the BBC press release:

Ruth has been a favorite of mine since her stunning performance in Jane Eyre in 2006. At the moment she's in the remake of 1960s classic The Prisoner.

I have a Ruth Wilson page (http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/chevron/ruthwilson) that I'll update with this news later.
