In this engaging production, starring students of the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, playwright Helen Edmundson (Queen Anne, Coram Boy) turns George Eliot's story of first love, sibling rivalry and regret into a wonderfully theatrical examination of one of literature’s most charismatic heroines.

Maggie is desperate to win the approval of her parents, but her wayward nature and fierce intelligence bring her into conflict with her family. As she reaches adulthood, the clash between their expectations and her desires is painfully played out as she finds herself torn between relationships with three very different men.
