Virginia Woolf’s Night & Day
Fiction Feature Film
Set in an era when glass ceilings were made of concrete, one woman looks to the stars in Virginia Woolf's Night & Day.
In short
Based on Virginia Woolf’s funniest novel, NIGHT & DAY is an un-romantic comedy about a passionate astronomer, Katharine Hilbery, who does everything she can to avoid romantic love and marriage.
Nuanced and contemporary in tone, it destroys our preconception of Virginia Woolf as a humourless author, and showcases an ensemble of refreshing performances against the ravishing backdrop of London in 1910, the suffragette movement, advances in science and technology and crumbling Edwardian patriarchy.
This is period drama without the stuffy, stiff predictability. Virginia’s story is as relevant to today as it ever was: women are balancing romantic love and careers. This is a story to remind us…
