Francesca Rudkin: Savage House and Lomu

Savage House  In 18th-century England, Savage House follows Sir Chauncey Savage, a gloriously unscrupulous social climber propped up by debt and bravado. When invited to host the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, Chauncey and his razor-sharp wife, Lady Savage, launch a bid to impress. As preparations spiral into duels, decadence and bloodshed, their performance careens out of control--a darkly comic satire of class, spectacle, and the art of appearing important.     Lomu   A theatrical documentary about the legendary Jonah Lomu. An intimate and heartfelt character study tracing his Tongan upbringing, meteoric rise to fame, and the complicated personal and health battles he faced at the pinnacle of world rugby.      LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
