The Wah-Wah Diaries: The Making of a Film

Through the mayhem – the never-ending financial pressures, the difficulties and eventual breakdown of communication with his producer, the quest to persuade the King of Swaziland to grant permission to film in his country, the assembly of a stellar cast including Gabriel Byrne, Emily Watson, Julie Walters, Nicholas Hoult and Miranda Richardson – Richard E. Grant has written, with characteristic humour and charm, an extraordinary honest and revealing account of a labour of love and the realisation of a dream.
