Rural England, 1865. Katherine is stifled by her loveless marriage to a bitter man twice her age, whose family are cold and unforgiving. When she embarks on a passionate affair with a young worker on her husband's estate, a force is unleashed inside her, so powerful that she will stop at nothing to get what she wants.

William Oldroyd studied directing at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art before becoming Director in Residence at the Young Vic Theatre, where he directed large-scale productions. He has directed two short films: Christ’s Dog (2012) and Best (2013). Lady Macbeth is his first feature film.
