About this listen

Spring 1905, England.

When Helen Schlegel goes to stay at Howards End - the country home of the Wilcox family, her own life, along with that of her sister Margaret, is changed forever. This is the tale of three families at the beginning of the twentieth century: the rich Wilcoxes, the gentle, idealistic Schlegels and the lower-middle class Basts.

Frequently cited as E. M. Forster's finest work, Howards End brilliantly explores class warfare, conflict and the English character. This BBC dramatisation skilfully brings the classic novel to life.

Starring John Hurt as the Narrator, Lisa Dillon as Margaret Schlegel, Jill Cardo as Helen Schlegel, Tom Ferguson as Tibby Schlegel, Alexandra Mathie as Aunt Juley, Malcolm Raeburn as Henry Wilcox, Ann Rye as Ruth Wilcox and Joseph Kloska as Charles Wilcox.

I love this story and the performance of it here is wonderful. It’s a very short adaptation though and I wanted more!

Too short but otherwise great

This is an awful amateur production. The actors are all wrong, rushing their parts, sounding like a cackle of irate hen’s with absolutely no finesse which gives the beauty to this story.


TERRIBLE ! AMATEUR PRODUCTION
