An Epic Life…   Synopsis

    An Epic Life is a true tale of an adventurous couple reaching across the world to fulfil a life’s dream—a major achievement in the mid nineteenth century. The evolution of the steam engine revolutionised both time and travel. It was the whisk that developed the industrial revolution, propelled Great Britain along the track to become the world’s most powerful nation. The railway industry became, for many, a lifetime career through generations—in Britain and the antipodes.
   
An Epic Life selects two men and two women from different lifestyles in different parts of England, caught up in the frenetic race to criss-cross Britain and its colonies with this new, fast and efficient means of commuting. Their lives become dedicated to it, facing not only the adventures involved, but the risks.
What emerges on the world scene is not only the industrial revolution but the by-product of it—society’s Middle Class.
