Cousin Bette
An adaptation in three parts of the novel by HONORÉ DE BALZAC by JOAN O'CONNOR with Alethea Charlton
Part 1: The Cards are Dealt
' You think that because I'm thin and dark and ugly that no one can love me.' And certainly it's not easy to love
Bette- she is ugly and eccentric and she's also consumed by a fierce jealousy.
Produced by JANE GRAHAM †
