Jude the Obscure

This faithful Masterpiece Theatre adaptation brings one of Thomas Hardy's most controversial novels to life, exposing the harsh inequalities of Victorian society. With dreams of bettering himself with a university education, the poor but earnest Jude Fawley (Robert Powell) pours himself into personal improvement. But when the immovable reality of his station sets in, the frustration is more than he can bear. Fiona Walker and Daphne Heard co-star.
