| | To Kill a KingSynopsis: Based on an original screenplay by young British writer Jenny Mayhew, TO KILL A KING is a dramatic and exciting journey through 17th century England. Shot in an edgy and contemporary style, the film explores how the love and loyalty between two of the most fascinating figures of the English Civil Wars turned to betrayal and political intrigue. Sir Thomas Fairfax (Dougray Scott), though aristocratic by birth, commanded the Parliamentary armies during the English Civil Wars. In the aftermath of years of bloodshed and chaos, Fairfax found himself increasingly stranded between his loyalty to the revolutionary cause of his comrade Oliver Cromwell (Tim Roth) and the loyalty he owed to his wife Lady Anne (Olivia Williams) and their shared class. Cromwell's determination to change the face of English society led directly to the Execution of King Charles I (Rupert Everett) - an act of treachery that Fairfax was unable to condone. Casts: Tim Roth, Rupert Everett, Dougray Scott, Olivia Williams Duration : 120 minutes
