Vita and Virginia
Saturday, February 15, 2014
7-8 pm Dinner
8 pm Curtain

Vita is the dashing, daring writer Vita Sackville-West, today most known for her exquisite gardens at Sissinghurst Castle. Virginia, of course, is Virginia Woolf, one of English literature's most brilliant and innovative writers (Mrs. Dalloway, To The Lighthouse, A Room of One's Own). Inspired by Vita, she wrote Orlando, a glorious, gender-bending novel and "the longest and most charming love-letter in literature."

An epistolary play, Vita and Virginia is based on the women's correspondence over the course of their ardent romance and enduring friendship. The production stars Elaine Meder-Wilgus as Virginia and Cynthia Mazzant as Vita.

Join us for a night of witty, passionate words and delicious food for every palate! Dinner buffet prepared by Webster's Catering using organic, gluten-free ingredients, locally-sourced whenever possible.
