Sister George is a fan favorite on BBC Radio’s folksy soap opera, “Applehurst.” The warm-hearted, caring nurse keeps everyone in the fictional rural town on the straight and narrow with her home remedies and common sense advice. June Buckridge, the actress behind Sister George, could not be more different. She drinks heavily, smokes cigars and is far from warm-hearted or caring. Or, for that matter, straight.
When BBC executives decide to boost ratings and neutralize their difficult star’s public relations problems by killing off the beloved character, June’s precarious personal world threatens to crumble. The nature of sexual identity, power, and politics in a changing world order are up for grabs in Frank Marcus’s groundbreaking 1964 comedy.
