M Offensive language & sexual referencesAcclaimed screenwriter Sir Tom Stoppard and director Susanna White bring Ford Madox Ford's remarkable story of love and betrayal to life in this landmark production.
As the comfortable certainties of Edwardian England give way to chaos and destruction, English aristocrat Christopher Tietjens finds himself marrying Sylvia, a beautiful but cruel socialite who is pregnant with a child who may or may not be his. Christopher is determined to remain loyal to his wife despite her string of infidelities, but his life is transformed the day he meets Valentine Wannop, a fearless young suffragette. Moving from the glittering yet shallow world of London high society to the trench-scarred battlefields of France, Parade's End is the story of one of the defining eras of the last century; a time when old certainties are being torn down and lives are changed forever.
Starring Rebecca Hall (Vicky Cristina Barcelona, The Town, The Awakening), and Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock, War Horse, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy).
