A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation by Martyn Wade of Anthony Trollope's classic novel. Orley Plantation, described as a "[B]rilliantly choreographed legal thriller" (Mail on Sunday), centres on the pathos of the key character, Woman Mason. Youthful relationship alternatives, middle-aged marital problems, love and loss revolve around the legal action and the sophisticated portrayal of Woman Mason, who's both sympathetic and wily. The book proposes a typical of morality greater than that embodied in the practice associated with an English court of law. Using its concern for cultural issues and its comprehensive coverage of middle-class and landed life, Orley Plantation is a book that needs attention in the abundant field of 19th century fiction. Trollope wrote in his autobiography that his friends considered this "the best I've written". With Tim Pigott-Smith as Anthony Trollope and Samantha Bond as Woman Mason, this production also stars Ronald Pickup, Dan Stevens, Amanda Root, Jonathan Christie, and Lydia Leonard. Aimed by Tracey Neale.
