Based on the classic novel by R.D Blackmore, Lorna Doone sets a powerful Romeo and Juliet tale of love and families divided amidst the fraught, rebellious and often brutal history of 17th century England.

Carver Doone is one of a cruel renegade family who mercilessly terrorise Somerset. Even though these outlaws have murdered John Ridd's father, this cannot stop him falling in love with the beautiful Lorna Doone. His struggle for her life and birthright against the Doone family, and their place in the uprisings against the crown and the laws of the land, make for a powerful and gripping story. Lorna Doone embraces the history of a time and place, which makes for compelling viewing right up to its passionate and perilous finish.
