Love, jealousy, hate, and suicide are the stuff of which family dramas are made. But the rise and fall of the dynasty in this series is very unorthodox. A musical without songs, a love story that in flashbacks is tied to the fate of British industrialist family, a very personal look at postwar British society – all of this makes IN A LAND OF PENTY into a modern saga with suggestive power. Based on Tim Pears’ bestseller of the same name, Hettie MacDonald and Dave Moore (TOUCHING EVIL) create with grandiose scenes and a unique narrative technique an epic puzzle which is only solved in the last episode.
