THE MEMORIAL by David Selzer © 2008
Posted by David Selzer in Screenplays on April 14th, 2009
THE MEMORIAL is a feature length screenplay. Set in the immediate aftermath of the First World War (against a background of mutinies and the influenza pandemic), it is a love story, which explores class, religious prejudice and anti-war issues through the eyes of Captain Edward Standish.
Much of the action takes place at Edward’s country seat, an east Midlands village dominated by a colliery, as well as in London where Edward falls in love with an artist, Clara Zeligman. Edward has to choose between Clara and and his fiancĂ©e, the Honourable Charlotte Antrobus.
The story also takes us to Flanders where Edward faced the toughest choice of his military career – an event which haunts him throughout the story.
