Masterpiece Theater

This is a stage production of Thornton Wilder's classic play. Set at the beginning of the 20th century, it's about the ordinary lives of the people of Grover's Corners, New Hampshire - love, marriage, death.

In the first century, Rome ruled the known world, but it had only just conquered Britain. Queen Boudicca, widow of King Prasutagus of the Iceni in what is now East Anglia, led a revolt which shook the foundations of the empire: superpower versus super warrior. Meanwhile, the Emperor Claudius, who wanted Britain in the first place, has been murdered by Nero, who orders a savage revenge against the Iceni.

This is the story of a shy English schoolmaster who devotes his life to teaching at his old school.

Boris Pasternak's epic love story is set in the years around the First World War and the Russian Revolution of 1917. Yuri Zhivago is a young doctor and rising poet, about to be married to Anna.
