It is the late nineteenth century and Queen Victoria is on the
throne. Upper-class girls are expected to get married and be
content with entertaining, embroidery and elementary music-making.
But, from an early age, Ethel has other ideas. She will need to be
forceful and persistent if she is to fulfil her dream of becoming a
composer and having her music performed. Meeting with the best
musicians of the day in England and Europe, she shows how good she
is, and begins to make her mark as an opera writer. Yet time and
time again, the musical world fails to support her. Her romantic
relationships with both women and men are stormy. Will she find
lasting love? As the twentieth century dawns, and the campaign for
Votes for Women becomes more militant, her life will take a
different turn… Shining Threads is based on the life of composer
Ethel Smyth. An inspiring story of hope and determination in the
face of many obstacles, it shines a light on an overlooked,
pioneering composer.
