Arthur Winslow is toasting the engagement of his daughter, when his son Ronnie unexpectedly returns home from the Osbourne Naval Academy – expelled for stealing a five shilling postal order.
Believing his son’s pleas of innocence, Winslow appoints one of the country’s top QCs, Sir Robert Morton, to fight the case. Together they set about taking on the establishment in order to “Let Right Be Done!”.
Despite the storm clouds of The Great War brewing across Europe, the case of the Winslow boy dominates the front pages of every paper. The whole nation is gripped by one family’s
pursuit of justice. But with fading health, his family’s reputation under national scrutiny and his children’s future happiness under threat – Winslow prepares to make the ultimate sacrifice to ensure that right will prevail.
This enthralling and deeply moving drama about the pursuit of justice was inspired by a true story. The Winslow Boy has been adapted into two hugely successful films: the first in 1948, the second (directed by David Mamet) more than fifty years later.
