Another Country

Inspired by the life of one of Britain’s most notorious traitors Guy Burgess, Another Country, is set in a public school in the 1930s. It depicts a rigid system of privilege, hypocrisy and repression as maintained by the English upper classes of the time. When refusal to conform ends in public humiliation for deeply idealistic, Guy, the enemy within is born.
