Description

This was the first time I felt as involved in film as in working in theatre. My immersion in Paradersquo;s End from the writing to the finishing touches took up the time I might have given to writing my own play but; perhaps to an unwarranted degree; I think of this Paradersquo;s End as mine; such was the illusion of proprietorship over Fordrsquo;s characters and story.—Tom Stoppard; from the IntroductionTom Stoppardrsquo;s BBC / HBO dramatization of Ford Madox Fordrsquo;s masterwork takes a prominent place in the ranks of his oeuvre. Parades End is the reinvention of a masterwork of modernist English literature produced by one of the most critically acclaimed and respected writers working today. Paradersquo;s End is the story of Christopher Tietjens; the “last Tory;rdquo; his beautiful; disconcerting wife Sylvia; and the virginal young suffragette Valentine Wannop: an upper class love triangle before and during the Great War.Parades End is a three-part drama; directed by the BAFTA-winning Susanna White; and featuring internationally renowned actors including Benedict Cumberbatch; Rebecca Hall; and Adelaide Clemens. This edition includes bonus scenes which were not broadcast; an introductory essay by Stoppard; and a selection of stills from the production as well as photographs taken on location.
