George Bernard Shaw - Candida

The life of a vicar's wife is turned upside down by a young poet. Romantic comedy with Hannah Gordon and Edward Petherbridge.

"If I haven't got what you call British pluck, I haven't British cowardice either: I'm not afraid of a clergyman's ideas. I'll fight your ideas.”

The life of a vicar's wife is turned upside down by a young poet.

Candida has a choice between her devoted but complacent husband and a young poet who passionately adores her. She needs all her resources of wit and candour to resolve a potentially explosive situation
