Joining them will be Lisa Moylett and Dr. Grant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJonathan Gash created an extraordinarily vivid and complex Lovejoy,\u201d says Lisa Moylett of Coombs Moylett Maclean Literary Agency. \u201cA morally ambiguous, often unpleasant anti-hero brought to life through taut prose and page-turning stories steeped in the shadowy world of antiques. It was essential that any new adaptation kept the books front and center. See-Saw\u2019s bold, assured vision, led by Lisa Gilchrist and Helen Gregory, demonstrated exactly how to preserve the books&#8217; wit and grit while reimagining them for today\u2019s audience.
