AFFINITY
By Ryan Adelsheim and Alex Keegan
Based on the novel by Sarah Waters
Directed by Alex Keegan
Restless and bereft in Victorian England, Margaret Prior
finds herself at Millbank Women's Prison as a “lady visitor.” With a furtive flash of violet, one prisoner catches her eye. Soon, Margaret’s world spins wildly out of control as she is pulled into Selina’s spiritualist orbit and finds herself
entranced by a new language of séances and queer
influences. Part romance, part ghost story, Affinity examines one woman's quest for connection, liberty, and even love,
in a strait-laced society.
