Virginia Woolf’s Night & Day + Live Q&A

More Information

Join the film’s Screenwriter and Producer, Justine Waddell at Abbeygate for a live Q+A after the film.

Justine Waddell is an award-winning writer, producer, and actor known for her work in film, television, and theatre. Her producer credits include the the Golden-Prague winning 2021 documentary Falling for Stradivari and the 2019 documentary Force of Nature Natalia about super-star ballerina Natalia Osipovaa.

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. Fun and contemporary in tone, this refreshing film showcases an ensemble of humourous performances against the ravishing backdrop of London in 1910, advances in science and technology and crumbling Edwardian patriarchy. Virginia’s story is as relevant to today as it ever was: women balancing romantic love with careers!
