Emilia Clarke Will Be Playing Poet Elizabeth Barrett in LET ME COUNT THE WAYS

Emilia Clarke (Mother of Dragons) has got a new role of a poet in an upcoming new movie Let Me Count the Ways, in which she will play Elizabeth Barrett, 19th Century British poet.

Set in the mid-19th century, the film follows Elizabeth as she is living in the family home with her siblings in an affluent part of London. She has gained fame and recognition for her poetry but, weakened by a mysterious illness, lives as a virtual recluse, reliant on laudanum. The youthful, impulsive Robert Browning comes into her life, awakening a passion she had previously only ever written about. But the closer she and Browning get, the more her father fights to keep control over her.
