A young couple's stormy romance scandalizes English society in this acclaimed adaptation of Jane Austen's classic love story.
Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds of the Royal Shakespeare Company are the star-crossed lovers, Anne and Wentworth, whose passion is thwarted by a scheming socialite. Eight years later, when Anne is considered an old maid and her once rich family is on the verge of bankruptcy, Wentworth returns. Will their second chance at love be ruined by the social conventions that destroyed it once? Or will the heart be persuaded by rules of its own? Adding flirtatious fun to Austen's irresistible romance, PERSUASION "takes your breathe away! A dazzling five-star feast. If you adored 'A Room With A View'...then you'll cherish PERSUASION." ?
