Episode: Florence Maybrick. The fifth in this series of plays concerns 20-year-old Florence Maybrick (Nicola Pagett). Lost, lonely and frightened, Florrie is a bride of only a few months, bound to a man twice her age. James Maybrick (John Carson), already an adulterer, flaunts his escapades in his young wife’s face, knowing that the drunken orgies revolt her. Revulsion, fear and terror drive her to a desperate solution as she slowly poisons James, watching him – as he dies a slow, agonised death – with a smile on her face.
