The Little House DVD

Based on Philippa Gregory's best-selling novel, The Little House.

BAFTA winning actress Francesca Annis (Cranford, Jane Eyre, Reckless) stars alongside renowned film, stage and television actors Tim Pigott-Smith (Alice in Wonderland, ENRON, Foyle’s War) and Rupert Evans (Emma, The Palace, Hellboy) and rising star Lucy Griffiths (Collision, Robin Hood, U Be Dead). The drama follows the story of Ruth (Griffiths), who is married to career minded Patrick (Evans) as she is pushed towards the limits of her own sanity when she becomes entangled in the lives of her wealthy but interfering in-laws Elizabeth (Annis) and Frederick (Pigott-Smith).

After falling unexpectedly pregnant, Ruth finds herself swept along on a tide of apparently well-intentioned family gestures which leave the previously independent teacher detached from her former city life and living in the little house at the end of her in-laws driveway. Ruth struggles to bond with her demanding baby son and her mother-in-law is quick to intervene. As she struggles with Postpartum psychosis and unresolved feelings about her mother’s suicide, an all consuming fear grips Ruth that her mother-in-law is unnaturally obsessed with her grandson.
