Bright, talented, and well-educated, young Mary Robinson aspires to be an actress, but her mother has other plans. Married off to a man that gambles away their money and is constantly unfaithful, Mary turns to the stage to support herself. It is there that she draws the attention of one of Britain&’s most powerful men, the Prince of Wales. When the Prince professes his love, Mary soon finds herself giving up everything: her career, her husband, and her independence. But the royal&’s affections are fickle, and soon Mary&’s sacrifices are all for naught . . . A moving and tragic story based on Mary Robinson&’s own memoirs, Lady of Passion reveals the intimate details of the life of one of the most famous women of her time.
