[Vwoolf] LONDON UNPLUGGED / "Kew Gardens" film

[Shannon, Drew [School of Arts & Humanities]]

Greetings!

Many of you might be familiar with the 2019 British film London Unplugged, an anthology of short films about the city by multiple directors, and which contains a short film based on "Kew Gardens," shot at the actual location and featuring Christina Carty as Virginia Woolf.  (Carty played Woolf in an episode of Downton Abbey, but her scenes were cut.  She can be seen in the background in one remaining shot.)  London Unplugged hasn't been available in the U.S. on DVD, but is now available to stream on both Amazon Prime and on Tubi TV; the latter is a free app that you can use on a smart TV.  It also appears to be rentable via iTunes.  The "Kew Gardens" clip is fascinating and well worth a look.  The film also contains an adaptation of one of Katherine Mansfield's stories, "Pictures."

Enjoy!
Drew
