The Favourite

THE FAVOURITE is a ruthless and wickedly funny love triangle coated in powder.

In the early 18th century, England is at war with France. Inside the British court, it’s all duck races, pineapple feasts, and power games. Queen Anne is ill and unstable, and it is her closest confidante, Lady Sarah Churchill, who effectively governs the country. But balancing wartime politics with the demands of being the queen’s companion is no easy task. When young Abigail Masham arrives at court, Sarah sees a chance for relief. But Abigail has ambitions of her own – and her growing closeness to the queen gives her a way in. No matter the cost.
