At the height of the French Revolution, Lucie Manette and her wealthy husband fled Paris. Her small daughter, also named Lucie, was traumatised by her courageous and impossible escape. Now that Lucie the younger is older, she wants to know what really occurred from her mother. Lucie is filming a documentary to obtain those answers, bringing her family together to reenact incidents she was too young to remember.
From the makers of Paradise Lost (which sits unopened beside me) and Juliet & Romeo comes a new adaptation of one of the world’s most popular novels (allegedly). This is Lost Dog’s almost unrecognisable re-imagining of a classic, which is part dance, part theatrical, part fictionalised documentary, and no-part costume drama.
