- Synopsis:
- The enduring conflict between sex and religion drives this emotionally charged drama from John Braine. Starring Jason Merrells and Denise Welch, 'The Jealous God' tells the story of reserved schoolteacher Vincent Dungarvan, battling against a fiercely religious mother and the disapproval of his wider family when he falls in love with the wrong young woman. Set in Yorkshire in the mid 1960s and vivid with a sense of time and place, sexual tensions simmer just under the surface and explode in a devastating finale, which leaves everyone unable to return to the orderly lives they knew.
