Synopsis - The Line Of Beauty charts the relationship between Nick Guest, a gay, middle-class boy with a passion for Henry James, and the Feddens, a rich Tory family from Notting Hill.
Nick meets Toby Fedden at Oxford and is attracted to him, so he is thrilled when he is invited to live with Toby’s family when university ends.
During a hot summer in London, Nick befriends Catherine, Toby’s manic depressive sister, and falls in love with Leo, a black, socialist council worker.
He becomes entranced by the powerful, privileged life led by the Feddens and their friends - a life untouched by the stark realities of 80s Britain: vast unemployment and the rise of AIDS.
In Elize’s words - “I play the girlfriend of Toby Feddon – an actress, who leaves him and breaks his heart. Only a small part, but really fun to dress up 80s, and work with Saul Dibb.”
