Persuasion by Jane Austen.
Starring Juliet Stevenson 1: Old Friends and New Meetings
It is 1814 in the village of Uppercross in Somersetshire, and Sir Walter Elliot of Kellynch Hall has long since given up any hope of his daughter's making a favourable marriage. But Anne did fall in love eight years ago with Frederick Wentworth , a young man with no fortune and no family connections. She was persuaded to give him up. Has he forgiven her?
Director Vanessa Whitburn
