The life of Yvonne Carmichael, a young smart and successful genetics, who seems to have everything in the world: a good family, a high position, and money, but when she meets the handsome Mark, everything comes to challenge her and she has to choose among valuable things.
Here, mercifully, Yvonne is not diminished; damaged but not destroyed. As the story gets darker, turning through consequences and revelations (rather than twists), it's her power, more than her lover's, that comes under close examination.
There is a strong message here that - contrary to what you might be led to believe from Every Other Drama On Television - female sexuality doesn't suddenly end at 35, but can become more powerful and more profound.
Amanda Coe's script, adapted from Louise Doughty's novel, took us to dark yet real-seeming places, illustrating the dilemma and hurt with moments of star-bright drama.
