Synopsis

The year 1845 finds the Moulton Barrett family of London tight in the grip of a tyrannical father.

His invalid daughter Elizabeth is gaining a brilliant reputation as a writer.

Her verses reach Robert Browning who falls in love with her before they have ever met.

Browning sweeps into Elizabeth's life with the invigorating force of a sea breeze and her father senses that his absolute authority is in danger.

Tension mounts as Edward Moulton Barrett and Robert Browning engage in a struggle for Elizabeth's life and happiness.

A big hit in London's West End.|10 women, 30 men
