Parade's End

Tom Stoppard's dramatization for "BBC TV" of "Parade's End" by Ford Madox Ford will bring new readers to the novel as well as giving Stoppard's audience much that is original to his inventive version of a masterwork of modernist English literature. This is the story of Christopher Tietjens, the 'last Tory', his beautiful, disconcerting wife Sylvia, and the virginal young suffragette Valentine Wannop, who completes this triangle of love among the English upper classes before and during the Great War. The five-part drama, directed by Bafta award-winning film maker Susanna White, stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Rebecca Hall. This edition includes bonus scenes which were not broadcast, an introductory essay by Tom Stoppard, and a selection of stills from the production as well as photographs taken on location.
