New Drama Autumn 2004
Daniela Denby-Ashe stars in North And South

New Drama Autumn 2004



North And South


Set against the backdrop of Victorian England's industrial North, Daniela Denby-Ashe and Richard Armitage head the cast in this adaptation by Sandy Welch of Elizabeth Gaskell's passionate love story.


Margaret (Denby-Ashe) is a privileged, middle-class southerner, who is forced to settle in the northern town of Milton.


Her distaste for the town and its people extends to handsome and charismatic cotton mill owner John Thornton (Armitage), whom she believes epitomises everything she dislikes about the North.


Over time, however, Margaret begins to settle in Milton: her social conscience awakens, and she befriends some of the local mill workers, learning about their poverty and workplace struggles.


As events conspire to throw Margaret and Thornton together, the two spirited characters' repressed physical attraction for one another grows - but they must conquer prejudices of class and circumstance.


A strong supporting cast includes Sinead Cusack, Lesley Manville,Tim Pigott-Smith, Pauline Quirke, Brendan Coyle, Jo Joyner and Rupert Evans.
