The Duchess
In late eighteenth century England no woman was as celebrated and scrutinised as Lady Georgiana Cavendish, the Duchess of Devonshire.

But while her beauty and charisma made her name, her extravagant tastes and appetite for gambling and love made her infamous.
Married young to the cool and distant Duke of Devonshire, intimate of mistresses and princes, Georgiana was a fashion icon, a doting mother and a shrewd political operator.
From her passionate and doomed love affair woth Earl Charles Grey to her complex menage a trois with her husband and best friend Lady Bess Foster, The Duchess is a very comtemporary tale of fame, notoriety and the search for love.
