DULCIMA:
Set in rural England on a rundown Gloucestershire farm. Miserly
and frisky farmer, Mr Parker, falls under the spell of a pitiful
gold-digger
who comes to work for him. Dulcima Gaskain is tired of being used as a
skivvy by her father George and is determined to escape her squalid
upbringing, so begins working as a housekeeper for the unkempt Parker.
The pair become lovers and Parker proposes, but a handsome young
gamekeeper has caught the eye of Dulcima. Parker’s jealousy combined
with Dulcima’s deceitfulness ultimately leads to tragedy.
