JM Barrie - The Admirable Crichton
Every shipwrecked Victorian aristocrat needs a butler by their side. Classic satire of society snobbery. Starring Russell Tovey.
Russell Tovey stars in JM Barrie's classic satire about the changing fortunes of Crichton, the perfect butler.
Liberal aristocrat Lord Loam favours a return to nature, with masters and servants living together as equals, but Crichton is the perfect butler and the perfect snob who adores the intricacies of the class system. He cannot help but be horrified by his master's opinions, and it will take a sea change to alter them.
