The French Lieutenant’s Woman

A timeless story of forbidden love, temptation and a fight for personal freedom. A cloaked figure of a young woman, Sarah Woodruff, stands alone at the end of a cliff edge, gazing out to sea with the waves crashing around her, her back turned against the harsh Victorian society that judges her.

In a quest to discover the truth about her, wealthy palaeontologist, Charles Smithson, throws himself into dangerous waters and must risk everything he has for this mysterious woman. Like the ground-breaking novel and film before it, Healy’s inventive adaptation plays with convention to create something unexpected, evocative and exciting.
