Synopsis:

Oscar winner John Madden (Prime Suspect, Shakespeare in Love) directs Annabelle Apsion (Shameless) and David Morrissey (Red Riding) in this disturbing, compelling drama which tells the story of a woman coming to terms with the trauma of being married to a mass-murderer. Drawing on a remarkable pool of talent that in-cludes Ted Childs executive producer of Inspector Morse and Lewis and multi-award-winning screenwriter Jeremy Brock (The Last King of Scotland), The Widowmaker earned a BAFTA nomination for Best Single Drama in 1991. Kathy, a young mother, arrives home to find her house surrounded by police and reporters; she is then told that her husband has been arrested for a series of murders in the local community. How could she have loved a man capable of committing such crimes? Why hadn't she recognised the signs of the madness that was de-veloping? Did she, in any way, provoke his actions? While coping with press intrusion, police questioning and her shocked family and friends, Kathy is haunted by the past in her harrowing search for the truth.

The Widowmaker is a 1990 made for television film starring Annabelle Apsion, Alun Armstrong, David Morrissey and Kenneth Walsh. The film deals with a woman whose husband has been arrested after going on a killing rampage and the reaction of her local community.

The film focuses on Kathy (Apsion) who is forced to face the hostility of her local community after her husband is revealed as a brutal spree killer.
