His Father's Wife by Mike Harris, based on an idea by Robert Louis Stevenson
In 1892, Robert Louis Stevenson claimed that his stories came to him fully formed in dreams. He wrote down the outline of one such story from memory. This drama is based on that outline, and is therefore the world premiere of a story that Robert Louis Stevenson never wrote. It is a dark tale of love and filial hate set in nineteenth century Scotland.
Director/Producer Gary Brown.
