Elizabeth: The Golden Age

The weekend of November 9 we will be presenting Elizabeth: The Golden Age.

Love. Betrayal. Plotting. It's not just for tv. It is the story of history.

King Philip II of Spain is amassing the Spanish Armada to invade Great Britain and return it to Catholicism.

Elizabeth has fallen in love with Walter Raleigh. Unable to give her love because of her commitment to her country and her throne, she encourages a bond between him and her favorite lady-in-waiting, Bess.

At the same time, a plot is growing within her own court to assassinate her.

This is the background of the rich historical thriller that details one of the most important periods in British history. Stars include Cate Blanchett returning as Elizabeth, Clive Owen as Sir Walter Raleigh, and Geoffrey Rush as Elizabeth's trusted adviser, Sir Francis Walsingham.
