Bridgett M. Davis is adapting her memoir for the screen with an assist from Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Plan B Entertainment and Searchlight Pictures have teamed up on the production.

“The World According to Fannie Davis” tells the true story of Davis’ mother, who “did whatever it took to offer her children a middle-class life in 1960s and 1970s Detroit.” The book details how “Davis’ mother became part bookie and part banker to run a numbers racket out of her home, allowing her children to go to good schools and have nice clothes, all the while keeping the entire operation a secret.”

Nottage, who is the only woman to have won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama twice — for her plays “Ruined” and “Sweat” — will be acting as a consultant on the project.

Davis wrote and directed “Naked Acts,” a 1996 feature about an aspiring actress struggling with the prospect of filming a nude scene for her first movie role. Besides “Fannie Davis,” she’s also authored novels “Shifting Through Neutral” and “Into The Go-Slow.”

In addition to Nottage’s work for the stage, she has also written and produced for the screen, most recently for “She’s Gotta Have It,” a Netflix series based on Spike Lee’s pic of the same name.
