Madame Bovary
Gustave Flaubert
“A wonderful sense of ensemble acting… [an] excellent performance by Frances O’Connor.” Daily Mail

Marriage to the reliable but unexciting charles, a provincial doctor, has left emma feeling unfulfilled and leads her to look elsewhere for satisfaction.

She embarks on a series of affairs and, since this glamorous lifestyle demands more money than Charles can provide, she runs up enormous debts with a devious local tradesman, Lheureux. It seems that Emma’s fantasies may lead to her destruction – unless beauty, self-belief and ambition can help her survive…

Bored, frustrated and desperate for romance, Emma bovary is in pursuit of passion…
