Emma
Mrs. Bates
Emma Woodhouse é uma mulher bonita, inteligente e rica, que vive confortavelmente ao lado do pai viúvo na pequena cidade de Higbury, no interior da Inglaterra. Quando a sua governanta, Miss Taylor, se casa com o vizinho, Mr. Weston, Emma sente um vazio em sua vida e decide ajudar as pessoas a terem uma vida tão perfeita quanto a sua. Torna-se, então, uma casamenteira e passa a dar conselhos na vida sentimental das amigas, apoiando, aprovando ou desaprovando os romances conforme seu juízo de valores. Mas, apesar de aparentar autoridade no assunto, ela se revela uma mulher que nunca se apaixonou.
Terra das Sombras
Woman in Bookshop
Em 1952, na Universidade de Oxford, surge o relacionamento entre o professor e intelectual C.S. Lewis (Anthony Hopkins) e a escritora americana Joy Gresham (Debra Winger). Eles se encontraram após ela lhe ter escrito uma carta, sendo que esta correspondência a levou a sua primeira viagem à Inglaterra, que ela fez em companhia de Douglas Gresham (Joseph Mazzello), seu filho. Lewis a recebeu como cortesia, como parte da rotina de sua vida de professor, mas ele não sabia o que fazer quando algo lhe ficou claro: que estava apaixonado.
Absolute Hell
Julia Shillitoe
Black comedy set in Soho, London, right after World War II. Half of the fun is seeing a slew of very familiar faces kick up their heels as gay men, lesbians, party-girls, drunks, and drag queens. Originally aired as part of the anthology series "Performance."
Where Angels Fear to Tread
Mrs. Theobald
An English widow goes to Italy, falls in love with a dentist's son and marries him, against her straitlaced family's wishes.
Paying Guests (Part 2)
Hilda
Miss Howard's exhibition of water-colours at the Green Salon falters but then takes off. The season at 'Wentworth' is now drawing to a close, peoples' plans for the winter unfold. Florence, for the first time in her life, refuses to go off with her selfish old father. Miss Howard has some momentous news, and the Colonel must make a very brisk about-turn.
Paying Guests (Part 1)
Hilda
Spend some time in the company of the guests at 'Wentworth' - all taking the waters except for the Colonel and Miss Howard, who has some leisure for the beginnings of a late romance. Gossip, bicycle rides, rounds of golf, bridge in the evenings and preparations for the charity concert all make time pass most pleasantly - don't they?
Separate Tables
Lady Matheson
Two one-act plays explore love and loneliness. In "Table by the Window" an aging fashion model contrives a reunion with her ex-husband, a politician ruined by scandal, and their passion is rekindled. In "Table Number Seven" a meek woman harbors a secret love for a man accused of fraud and sex offenses, forcing her to take a stand for the first time in her life.
