SILVER SPRING, January 10, 2007-Acorn Media announces the February 27, 2007 DVD release of The Rector's Wife, based on the bestselling novel by Joanna Trollope.
One of the most memorable British dramas of the 1990s stars Lindsay Duncan as a spirited woman caught in a stultifying marriage. After 20 years of meeting the demands of her husband and his parishioners, she realizes she has to save herself.
Duncan, whose credits include Rome, Under the Tuscan Sun, and the 2002 Broadway revival of Private Lives- for which she won a TonyŽ and a Drama Desk award-delivers a formidable performance as a woman slowly awakening to an independent, full life. The Rector's Wife also stars Pam Ferris (Rosemary & Thyme, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban), Jonathan Coy (Horatio Hornblower TV series) and Prunella Scales (Fawlty Towers).
Headquartered in suburban Washington, D.C., Acorn Media is one of North America's most active providers of British television programming on home video. Acorn's DVD sets are available from select retailers, catalog companies, and direct from Acorn Media at (888) 870-8047 or www.acornonline.com.
