Welcome to Cranford: a small town where gossip travels fast and traditions run deep. But in the 1840s, change is coming – whether anyone likes it or not.
Tamsin Greig (Black Books, Green Wing, Friday Night Dinner, Episodes) leads an ensemble cast as Matty Jenkyns, who lives at the centre of a close-knit community of formidable women. Their lives are governed by a web of peculiar customs and unspoken rules. But as the outside world rushes in, the residents of Cranford must navigate troubled friendships, lost love, and the challenge of holding on to what matters most.
The creative team also includes: Set & Costume Design: Natalie Johnson; Lighting Design: Jamie Platt; Sound Design & Composer: Max Pappenheim; Casting Consultant: Jacob Sparrow; Assistant Director: Charlotte Rogers and Associate Costume Design: Evelien Van Camp.
