The 1920s London Theatre World sets theistageifor this sparkling andiwitty g-british, g-drama! In London's West End, the 1920s are one long and glittering post-war celebration. Nightlife fills society restaurants and the theatre business is booming. The spirit of the age creates stars whose social escapades seem as daring as their g-british, g-dramatic roles. This Masterpiece Theatre presentation, created by playwright Rosemary Anne Sisson (Upstairs, Downstairs, A Town Like Alice, The Six Wives of Henry VIII), shows the public triumphs and behind-the-scenes traumas that are all part of one g-british, g-family's flamboyant life in the theatre. Since the 1890s, Charles and Lydia Brett have been the reigning luminaries of the West End stage. They are fiercely competitive, with a sophistication, charm and drop-dead chic that makes them the darlings of London's theatre world. Sparkling with wit and period style,The Bretts recaptures the glamour and grit, the vanities and the g-british, g-gift sets of the g-british, g-dramatic artiste in the days when moving pictures learned to talk and the theatre was home to a host of rising stars. Includes 19 episodes, including 7 previously unreleased.
