REVIEW - Does 'Da Vinci' at the Grand crack the Film-to-Stage adapation code?
There’s something innately quite bookish about Dan Brown’s chart-storming mystery thriller The Da Vinci Code, mish-mashing as it does an at-times bonkers bricolage of history, religious iconography, conspiracy theory and a hefty dose of riddles and wordplay. Sure, it tiptoes into fairly rote Brown territory of shadowy operations, double-crosses and globetrotting, but it is principally a fairly cerebral affair.
