Dragonfly (15)

About the show

Have we become a nation of strangers? In Dragonfly, neglected pensioner Elsie (Brenda Blethyn) finds an unexpected ally in her younger neighbour Colleen (Andrea Riseborough). Over time, Elsie gains a friend and the troubled Colleen finds a fresh purpose in life as she shops, cleans and cares for her. It brings brighter days for both of them. Elsie’s son John resents the way that Colleen has selflessly fulfilled the responsibilities that he has shirked.

Simmering tensions bring shocking consequences in a gripping human story that showcases heartrending, award-winning performances from Brenda Blethyn and Andrea Riseborough.
