About
Adapted from author Janet Frame's renowned three-part autobiography, An Angel at My Table threads together a series of images and scenes to evoke Frame's dramatic life story. Originally made as a three part TV drama, the acclaimed dramatisation won cinema release in 35 countries. It established Jane Campion as a global director, launched actor Kerry Fox, and introduced new audiences to the "mirror city" of Frame's writing. This excerpt follows Frame's escape from Seacliff Asylum, to her first publishing success while staying with writer Frank Sargeson (Martyn Sanderson). Read more about An Angel at My Table here.
