Lady Jane

“Some of the greatest battles are fought with the heart.”

Edward VI is dying, and the Duke of Northumberland (John Wood), a minister set on keeping England Protestant, marries his son Guilford Dudley (Cary Elwes) to the young scholar Lady Jane Grey (Helena Bonham Carter). Trevor Nunn follows the two as they go from open dislike to love while Northumberland moves to place Jane on the throne. Jane, still in her book-reading girlhood, sits among the grown men who are using her name.
