Description

Please join WGTE as we watch the first episode of the new series based on Henry Fielding's novel "The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling." This is a story about two lovers who follow their hearts, bringing mid-18th-century England to life in all its passion, prejudice, luxury and loose morals. There will be light refreshments and after the screening, there will be a discussion, door prizes and station tours. Tom Jones on Masterpiece premieres on Sunday, April 30 at 9 p.m. This four-part television miniseries reimagines Henry Fielding’s classic novel "The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling." A picaresque story of the title character’s complicated journey to find real love, Tom Jones has delighted and scandalized readers since it was originally published in 1749. Solly McLeod stars as the hero Tom, alongside Sophie Wilde as the heroine Sophia Western. Written by Gwyneth Hughes, directed by Georgia Parris and produced by Benjamin Greenacre.
