South Australia
With her husband missing on his 1931 submarine expedition to the North Pole,
Lady Suzanne Wilkins faces uncomfortable truths about her future as the
wife of a famous explorer. Are the loneliness, sacrifices and heartache
really worth it? Her problems are compounded by the visit to her New York
apartment of her husband's expedition's sponsor, William Randolph Hearst,
the newspaper magnate. Drawing heavily on Lady Wilkins's own writings and
song lyrics The Loneliest Woman tells the story of strength discovered in
the face of adversity. Another brilliant Australian drama from Peter
Maddern (Kokoda, Hardy - Hero of the Hills etc).
