Vita and Virginia (Paperback)

Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West first met in 1922 when they were aged 40 and their correspondence continued for the next 20 years until Virginia's suicide in 1941. While Vita revered Virginia's genius, Virginia was at times dismisive of Vita's litterary skills. Eileen Atkins' dramatisation of their correspondence was originally presented at Chichester Theatre in 1992 and at London's Ambassadors Theatre in 1993 and provides a challenging two-hander for women.
