Description
Based on the Jane Austen novella ?Lady Susan? and set in the 1790s,
Love & Friendship is an exquisitely witty comedy of matchmaking and heart-breaking.
Beautiful young widow Lady Susan Vernon is deliciously scheming and manipulative and she has come to Churchill, the estate of her in-laws, to wait out the colourful rumours about her dalliances circulating through polite society. Whilst ensconced there, she decides to secure a husband for herself and for her eligible but reluctant school-girl daughter Frederica.
The waters are troubled further by the arrival at Churchill of the handsome, eligible Reginald DeCourcy and silly but cheerful - and very rich - Sir James Martin.
