Pretty Little Liars’ Julian Morris Stars In Gay BBC Drama That Spans 60 Years
"Man in an Orange Shirt" costars David Gyasi, Jame McCardle and Vanessa Redgrave.
From the BBC:
"Two love stories, sixty years apart, chart the challenges and huge change to gay lives from the Second World War to the present: In 1944, British Army Captain Michael Berryman (Cohen) meets war artist Thomas March (McArdle) in Southern Italy while chaos reigns all around them.
Despite having a young fiancé, Flora (Joanna Vanderham), waiting at home for him, straight-laced Michael finds himself falling for Thomas’ bohemian charms.
In 2017, an aging Flora (Vanessa Redgrave) looks on as her grandson, Adam (Morris), tentatively forms a relationship with his client Steve (Gyasi) in a more accepting world.
But while the external obstacles have fallen away, a minefield of internalized issues and dangerous temptations still line the road to happiness."
