The People's Crusade : A Story for Britain

As a new county council takes control, Marianne must navigate the rapidly changing situation and decide where her allegiance lies.

After a landslide win for a new county council, Marianne and the community must decide where their allegiances lie.

Jonathan Myerson’s new drama explores the new politics forming across the country as the old norms no longer apply. Is this just about which flag is flying on the public buildings or is there a tectonic shift taking place?
