Sally Leapt out of a Window Last Night
Ireland, 1778. Sally and Eleanor flout convention and scandalise society by eloping to escape the fate their families have planned for them.
Ireland, 1778. When Sally finds herself at the mercy of her wealthy but abusive guardian Sir William and threatened with a forced marriage, Eleanor - herself faced with banishment to a convent - hatches a plan for them to escape. They will flee at night to the coast and catch a boat to Wales and freedom. But danger abounds - rioters roam the forest smashing fences in protest against land enclosures. Bad weather grounds all ships, and Sally and Eleanor have to take shelter. As they explore a new-found intimacy, the pursuit closes in.
Inspired by the true story of the legendary Ladies of Llangollen.
