Description

---

The fifth BBC Radio 4 series of this wickedly funny parody of the Bloomsbury Group, Henry and Vera go to the USA and dip a toe in transatlantic culture (where Vera wows Dorothy Parker). Henry, Vera, Ginny, and Lionel visit Paris, where in the 1930s, radical arts movements were raging, and figures such as Picasso, Hemingway and Joyce held court—and got drunk.

Starring Miriam Margolyes as Vera Sackcloth-Vest (Vita Sackville-West), Jonathan Coy as Henry Mickleton (Harold Nicolson), Alison Steadman as Ginny Fox (Virginia Woolf), Nigel Planer as Lionel Fox (Leonard Woolf), John Sessions as D. H. Lollipop (D.H. Lawrence) and Morwenna Banks as Venus Traduces (Violet Trefusis).
