Originally a LWT production for Channel 4, 1988.
Based upon the novel by Virginia Woolf.
Virginia Woolf pushed the boundaries of the novel as a tool for psychological inquirey through her experimentation with subjective and relativistic perceptions of time and events. This classic program cuts scenes froma compelling dramatization of Mrs. Dalloway with a portrayal of Virginia Woolf--played by actress Eileen Atkins--who, based on entries from her diary, explicates the story. Literary critic, Hermoine Lee addresses topics in the novel such as the significance of shared external events and the theme of emotional bankruptcy, both of which propel this drama of the mind.--Container.
