Daphne
A biographical drama exploring Daphne du Maurier's conflicted emotional life between her marriage and her unrequited desires for women, set against the backdrop of her literary success.
Set during the years between the "Rebecca" trial and the writing of Du Maurier's short story "The Birds", including her relationship with her husband Frederick 'Boy' Browning, and her largely unrequited infatuations with American publishing tycoon's wife Ellen Doubleday and the actress Gertrude Lawrence.
