All Passion Spent

After a lifetime in the spotlight, Lady Slane (Wendy Hiller), the 85-year-old wife of a recently deceased politician, is allowed to shed her public persona and retreat to a cottage in the Hampstead countryside. But rediscovering her identity is no easy task with meddlesome family members constantly questioning her propriety. Adapted from Vita Sackville-West’s classic novel, this acclaimed Masterpiece Theatre production was nominated for four BAFTA awards.
