Edward Evans

A film by Alan Clarke for the 'The Company of Five' anthology series.

Adaptation of the Shakespeare play.

The religious beliefs of pet shop owner Joe (Freddie Jones) are shaken by the terminal illness of his daughter Lucy (Angharad Rees). For Potter, this play "makes more than a wry nod at possibilities which can comprehend pain, or disgust, or the implacable presence of death itself."

A lodger, recuperating from a heart attack, sets his sights on his landlady.
