A 1994 adaptation of a masterpiece of 19th century literature, MIDDLEMARCH is a multilayered story of provincial life on the brink of momentous change. Starring Juliet Aubrey and Rufus Sewell. 

Middlemarch is a town of the future with growing industrialization and improved communications such as the railway. For the newly arrived Dr. Tertius Lydgate, the future is the construction of a new hospital where he will be able to continue his laboratory work in medical science.

Dramatisation of George Eliot's classic novel about the lives and loves of a group of people living on the cusp of the Industrial Revolution in a small town named Middlemarch. These include young Doctor Lydgate, who arrives at Middlemarch hospital full of idealism and determined to do good works; Dorothea Brooke, who becomes attracted to the scholarly Edward Casaubon and then finds herself trapped in an ill-fated marriage; and Will Ladislaw, a young lad who awakens Dorothea's repressed passion and thereby changes the course of her life.
