Vita & Virginia

by Eileen Atkins
adapted from correspondence between Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West
directed by Susan Conte

Vita & Virginia

This fascinating study of the relationship between Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West is based on their correspondence over 20 years, from 1922 until 1941, and maps the loves, lives and writings of a remarkable pair of women writers from the Bloomsbury Group.  Enormous social changes in Britain are reflected in their laconic and often acid wit, whilst their social class gives them the time and opportunity to push the boundaries - in all directions! 

Sunday 25th September to Saturday 1st October 2011
Sunday 4p.m., Monday to Saturday at 7.45p.m. No performance on Wednesday, no Saturday matinee.
