Virginia Woolf’s Night & Day

Synopsis

Set in London in 1910, brilliant and headstrong Katharine Hilbery resists her parents' plans for marriage, determined instead to pursue her passion for astronomy. When her controlling father, Mr. Hilbery, forces her into an engagement with family friend William, Katharine's carefully guarded independence is threatened. Her world begins to expand when she befriends spirited suffragette Mary Datchet and crosses paths with working-class editor Ralph Denham, who is assisting her mother with a family biography. As romantic loyalties shift, Katharine is pushed to question everything she has been taught about love, ambition, and how to claim her space in a patriarchal world.
