1920s London, English writer, Virginia Woolf (Elizabeth Debicki), has reached the apex of modern world literature with her landmark novel, 'Mrs. Dalloway', but nothing seems to soothe the darkness that plagues her. Poems and letters of admiration from Vita Sackville-West (Gemma Arterton) lead to a courtship that is hardly concealed from the outside world. Soon, Virginia is enthralled by Vita. She is everything Virginia is not –extroverted, direct, in possession of a strongly magnetic personality and, as Virginia notes, a pair of the most amazing legs. Focusing on the period 1927-1928 during which time Woolf wrote 'Orlando', the novel their relationship inspired, Vita & Virginia is a moving and exhilarating feature from actor and writer Dame Eileen Atkins.
