The Devil's Whore [DVD]

Product Details

Set during The English Civil War, The Devil's Whore is a treat, an intelligent, richly textured labour of love from writers/creators Peter Flannery and Martine Brant. This historical masterpiece stars Angelica Fanshawe, a young woman abandoned as a child by her fanatical mother and haunted by apparitions of the devil ever since. Marrying into aristocracy, Angelica is pitched headlong into a divided Britain. Cromwell (an impressive Dominic West) and the Roundheads are dismantling the social and political order, while Charles I (Peter Capaldi) clings to the throne. Angelica's life is disrupted, and not least by the enigmatic mercenary, Edward Sexby (John Simm). Starring Andrea Riseborough, Michael Fassbender, Dominic West, Tim McInnerny, Harry Lloyd, Peter Capaldi, Maxine Peake and John Simm.
