Rufus Sewell (DARK CITY) stars in THE WOODLANDERS, an adaptation of the novel by Thomas Hardy. Like many of Hardy's more famous tales, this one takes place against the backdrop of the 19th century English countryside. Grace and Giles (Sewell) were in love once, before Grace's merchant father sent her away for an education. When she returns, she and Giles find their feelings have cooled, which is perhaps for the best considering their class differences would prevent any possible marriage. Grace marries the haughty Dr. Fitzpiers, while peasant girl Marty pines after Giles. But as Giles grows lonely and Grace comes to dislike her new husband, the two are drawn back towards each other. THE WOODLANDERS, like many other Thomas Hardy stories, centers around impossible romances and class difficulties in Victorian England. [Less]
