Summary
This drama is an adaptation of the 1949 play by James Bridie, which examines the conflict between youthful romanticism and middle-aged pragmatism. The story begins as a young man, Ernest, meets and falls in love with the married, middle-aged Lady Pitts. Lady Pitts, however, refuses to allow herself to be worshipped.
