The Mayor of Casterbridge (2003)

Part 2 (1x2)

Air date: Aug 25, 2003

On her deathbed, Susan reveals the truth about Elizabeth Jane; Lucetta spurns widowed Henchard and weds Farfrae. When Newson unexpectedly returns, Henchard faces a final reckoning with his pride and jealousy. This pedigreed production builds incrementally to a powerful examination of the ways in which tragedy can lie in wait, smoldering beneath a air of propriety.
