A Dance to the Music of Time

Comedy meets tragedy over five tumultuous decades! Sir John Gielgud, Miranda Richardson, Alan Bennett, Edward Fox, Zo? Wanamaker, Michael Williams, Dame Eileen Atkins and Simon Russell Beale (An Ideal Husband) in his BAFTA?-winning role as the ambitious and infl uential Kenneth Widmerpool are just a few of the stars in this compelling saga often compared to the landmark mini-series Brideshead Revisited. Based on Anthony Powell?s epic 12-volume literary masterpiece, this intricate panorama of human existence explores upper-class British society from the 1920s onward through the perspective of our narrator, Nicholas Jenkins (James Purefoy, Rome, Vanity Fair), whose friendships, fortune and failures play out against the backdrop of London?s social, political and artistic life.
