Hi Jean, I’ve seen Atkins’s play, which was produced in NYC ten or so years ago. (With Atkins as Woolf and Vanessa Redgrave as Vita.)
<div class="">It was created almost entirely out of diary entries and letters. Other Woolfians agreed at the time that it was brilliant.</div>
<div class="">If this film is built on that play (as the article states), there is at least a good chance it will be interesting, maybe exciting.</div>

<div class="">Best, Molly</div>

I'm always afraid that this version will supplant whatever truth can be discerned from the letters and diaries. I hated Michael Cunningham's book and could not bear to see the film. I felt it was parasitic and deeply false.</div>
