Clifford Odets’s The Country Girl centres on Frank Elgin, who was once a great theatre star but is now down on his luck. When he is offered a major role by hotshot director Bernie Dodd, he has the chance to make a major comeback. Will Frank regain his confidence and save his turbulent career? Will he be supported in his quest for a second chance by his long-suffering wife?

Martin Shaw and Jenny Seagrove, best known for TV’s Judge John Deed, team up once again for The Country Girl.
