2. Transformation

Episode 2 of 2

Ruth’s campaign to punish her husband and his mistress advances and she will stop at nothing to get her way. Stars Barnaby Kay.

As Ruth’s campaign to punish her husband and his mistress advances, she will now still stop at nothing to get the life, and the body, she desires.

Starring Hattie Morahan.

Fay Weldon's gleefully bawdy satire on the war of the sexes, is a fable about the rewards and dangers of our capacity for transformation.

After Ruth discovered her husband is sleeping with a prettier, richer woman, she's been making ingenious and diabolical plans to punish them both.

Conclusion dramatised by Joy Wilkinson.
