Una insólita aventura (1995)
Recrea la vida de un grupo de actores de teatro que viven en Liverpool, recién terminada la Segunda Guerra Mundial. El director de la compañía es Meredith Potter, un hombre tenaz con su trabajo, que exige el máximo de unos actores que dirige con auténtica mano de hierro. Un día aparece una joven ingenua e impresionable, que huye de su monótona vida familiar, solicitando el trabajo de ayudante del director en escena. Es admitida, con lo que se ve atrapada en las intrigas de la compañía de teatro. Stella llama la atención de sus compañeros con sus comentarios llenos de inocencia sobre el amor y el sexo. Con la nueva producción teatral aparece un nuevo personaje, P.L. O'Hara, un ser atractivo y avasallador que concita en torno a él la codicia, la rivalidad y los celos. Stella quedará atrapada en esta red, ya que O'Hara se enamora de ella.
Directora: Mike Newell
