In a world where everyone is striving for what is not worth having, orphan Becky Sharp (Olivia Cooke) sets out to claw her way to the top of English society. Written by Gwyneth Hughes, Vanity Fair is a new adaptation of William Makepeace Thackeray’s 19th century literary classic. Set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars, Becky’s story of villainy, crime, merriment, lovemaking, jilting, laughing, cheating, fighting and dancing takes her all the way to the court of King George IV, via the Battle of Waterloo, breaking hearts and losing fortunes as she goes.‎ Starring OLIVIA COOKE, CLAUDIA JESSIE, TOM BATEMAN, JOHNNY FLYNN, CHARLIE ROWE, SIMON RUSSELL BEALE, SURANNE JONES, ROBERT PUGH, DAVID FYNN, CLAIRE SKINNER, MATHEW BAYNTON, SIAN CLIFFORD, ANTHONY HEAD, MONICA DOLAN, FRANCES DE LA TOUR, MARTIN CLUNES, MICHAEL PALIN
