Twenty years have passed and it is 1937. Duncan and Vanessa remain at Charleston Farmhouse, painting, living and loving alongside each other. Vanessa’s children Julian, Quentin and Angelica also live with them. Julian is determined to fight against Franco in the Spanish civil war, while Angelica, who remains unaware of her true parentage, goes to London to become an actress.
The three-part series centres on the close and often fraught relationship between sisters Vanessa Bell and Virginia Woolf, and Vanessa’s sexually complicated alliance with gay artist Duncan Grant as they, and their group of like-minded friends, navigate their way through love, sex and artistic life through the first half of the 20th century.
