FLAUBERT, G.: Madame Bovary (Abridged)
One of the great novels of nineteenth-century France, Flaubert draws a deeply-felt but sympathetic portrait of a woman who, having warned a country doctor and found herself unhappy with a rural, genteel existence, longs for love and excitement. Her aspirations and her desires lead her into a tragic spiral downwards.
Imogen Stubbs has worked extensively on stage in the West End and across the country, with major roles in A Streetcar Named Desire opposite Jessica Lange, Uncle Vanya, Othello, Heartbreak House and the title role in St Joan. Her major film credits include Viola in Twelfth Night, Sense and Sensibility and Jack and Sarah. She has been seen on TV in Anna Lee, The Rainbow and The Browning Version.
