Animula
This 20-minute screenplay was adapted from The Diamond Lens, a short story by Fitz James O’Brien, an unjustly neglected 19th century writer of tales of the uncanny.
It’s the tragic story of a pioneering microscopist who falls hopelessly in love with a miniscule woman.
‘Nothing could break down the barriers which Nature had erected between us.
In Love… With an Animalcule!’
