Sinossi
Alexander Kyle is an elderly eccentric with a sardonic sense of humour, a retired academic who fills his days translating Chaucer's TROILUS AND CRISEYDE. He lives alone, and the visits of his niece Gemma are his only source of delight. She is everything that he is not: beautiful, spontaneous, affectionate. From childhood, she has turned to her uncle for advice, and he has enjoyed trying to lead her astray.
Gemma's life is secure and outwardly happy: her husband is a successful doctor: she has two children, an au pair, and no need to work. But she is bored, and when Alexander meets David, an out-of-work actor, he decides that Gemma must meet him too. What could be more delicious than to corrupt her?
AN EVIL STREAK is about power and manipulation, love and sex, the lies people tell and the illusions they cherish. It is a love story, a black comedy, and a tragedy. It has all the power and extraordinary insight into human behaviour that made Andrea Newman's BOUQUET OF BARBED WIRE such compulsive television viewing.
