Dying mum forced Charlotte to promise to marry boring Albert. Before she married, along came handsome poet Werther. Pretty much love at first sight but not even a kissy-kiss-kiss!

Duty first, Charlotte married Albie. Werther, devastated, still at pre-kissing stage, went off. He came back after several months. That's when the trouble started. Declaring his undying love, she played hard to get - well she was already married! Goodness knows why, but he was lent (huh!) two pistols.

Off he shot, literally, but died in her arms (she'd followed him) after their first kiss. Lovely music.

Mama culpa!

    To take his own life with Albert's guns though; what a way to make a point. Loved it.
