Simon, where are you getting Mantel’s character notes from? What a fantastic addition! Love this summary of Wyatt, it adds so much richness (With apologies if this has been asked/answered elsewhere)

They are in the RSC theatre notes for the stage adaptation. They're an excellent resource, and it must have been such a boon for the actors having Mantel involved. Oh and Thomas Wyatt is a great character, worthy of his own novel I think.

Oh thank you! Of course, I posted this and THEN read the rest of this week’s article, complete with your description of where the character notes came from ... sorry to cause you more work! You’re so good at replying 🙏

It’s really good to know where they’re from, I’d been wondering. Yes wow, imagine getting her insights as an actor, what a gift!

Haha it's OK, the answer will stick around here in the comments and maybe help someone out some day. So you're doing a public service!
