Description

London 1666. Elizabeth 'Bird' Carpenter has a wonderful singing voice, and music is her passion.

When her father persuades her to marry horse-dealer Christopher Knepp, she suspects she is marrying beneath her station, but nothing prepares her for the reality of life with Knepp.

He is a tyrant and a bully and will allow Bird no life of her own.

When Knepp goes away, she makes a secret visit to the theatre.

Entranced, she falls in love with the theatre and is determined to forge a path of her own as an actress.

But a jealous rival wants to spoil her plans, and worse, Knepp forbids it, and Bird must use all her wit and intelligence to change his mind.
