Synopsis:
The story of the tempestuous relationship between Queen Bess and her favourite Earl, who is also in love with her lady in waiting.
Review:
This inordinately handsome production came as a bit of a disappointment following the excitements of Robin Hood, but it is after all devoted to private thoughts and feelings, rather than dramatic events, and as such is a rare example of historical drama from the time, examining the tension between political power and personal happiness.
