See Ginette McDonald starring in the strictly limited return season of My Brilliant Divorce, a wittily observant, achingly funny and heart-wrenchingly real one-woman tour de force.

Emotionally bereft and with self-confidence at an all time low, Angela slowly and at times painfully rebuilds her life.
