Description
Set against the backdrop of 1797 Harewood House in West Yorkshire, Will & Tom is a gripping tale of artistic rivalry and friendship. When rising artist Will Turner arrives at the grand house to sketch the estate, he expects a straightforward commission and return to London. However, things take a complicated turn when his childhood friend and rival, Tom Girtin, also appears on the scene.
The atmosphere at Harewood House is tense, with whispers of scandal threatening Will's commission and friendship. As tensions rise, Will finds himself drawn into a web of intrigue that will test the very foundations of their complicated relationship. This vivid portrayal of Britain's greatest painter, J M W Turner, offers a unique glimpse into the early life of an artistic legend.
