Do you remember when you first shared your own beliefs and convictions with other people? Not the ones you’d read in a book or learned from your parents, but ones you possessed yourself. Do you remember how you felt when you said it – like you were unfurling? Do you remember the first time you fell in love?

These flourishing feelings are at the heart of A Room With a View, the 1908 EM Forster novel that has been remade into a radiant and full-hearted stage adaptation by Grace Chapple for Sydney’s Belvoir St Theatre.
