Sally Leapt out of a Window Last Night

Ireland, 1778. When Sally finds herself at the mercy of her wealthy but abusive guardian Sir William and threatened with a forced marriage, Eleanor - herself faced with banishment to a convent - hatches a plan for them to escape. They will flee at night to the coast and catch a boat to Wales and freedom. But danger abounds - rioters roam the forest smashing fences in protest against land enclosures. Bad weather grounds all ships, and Sally and Eleanor have to take shelter. As they explore a new-found intimacy, the pursuit closes in.

Inspired by the true story of the legendary Ladies of Llangollen.
