Based on the classic by Charles Dickens, the best-selling English language novel of all time, A Tale of Two Cities is a timeless story of redemption through sacrifice, the agony of unrequited love, the inevitable, furious uprising of an oppressed people and, above everything, the power of family. London, 1782. Tensions run high in the war between France and Britain. An extraordinary young woman, Lucie Manette, has her life upended when she receives a message from Paris – her father, assumed dead for almost 20 years, may in fact be alive. The messenger– idealistic French émigré, Charles Darnay – is arrested and charged with treason. Lucie enlists the help of a brilliant but erratic young lawyer, Sydney Carton, to free Darnay in the hope he will lead her to Paris to track down her father. Lucie’s collision with Darnay and Carton unleashes a powerful and complex love triangle. Both men fight to be worthy of her love and Lucie is torn over which one to choose. Yet neither man – physically so alike, spiritually poles apart – can escape the other. Instead, they find themselves bound together in life and death; through triumphs, tragedies, marriage and murder.
