by George Eliot; dramatised in eight parts by James Andrew Hall starring Ray Smith as Mr Tulliver, Judy Cornwell as Bessy Tulliver with Jonathan Scott-Taylor as Tom and Georgia Slowe as Maggie
Maggie Tulliver, the miller's daughter who defies her embittered brother and shocks the Victorian society in which she lives by following the dictates of her heart, is one of George Eliot's most memorable creations. Drama, romance, tragedy, humour - Maggie's relations are often very funny - all have a place in this most popular of her novels.
