Created and written by Martine Brant and BAFTA-winning playwright Peter Flannery, The Devil’s Whore tells the epic story of the English Civil War through the eyes of Angelica Fanshawe (Andrea Riseborough), a spirited aristocratic woman who is drawn to the anti-monarchist cause at a time when England dared to execute its King and search for an alternative means of government.

It is a story not just of political and historical significance, but of love, loss, murder, courage and betrayal. The four-part drama also stars John Simm, Dominic West and Peter Capaldi.
