Set in London in 1910 brilliant and headstrong Katharine Hilbery (Haley Bennett) resists her parents’ plans for marriage, determined instead to pursue her passion for astronomy. When her controlling father, Mr. Hilbery (Timothy Spall) forces her into an engagement with family friend William (Jack Whitehall), Katharine’s carefully guarded independence is threatened.
Her world begins to expand when she befriends spirited suffragette Mary Datchet (Lily Allen) and crosses paths with working-class editor Ralph Denham (Elyas M’Barek), who is assisting her mother, Mrs. Hilbery (Jennifer Saunders) with a family biography. As romantic loyalties shift, Katharine is pushed to question everything she has been taught about love, ambition, and how to claim her space in the world.
Virginia Woolf’s Night & Day is set for release in UK and Irish cinemas from June 19th 2026.
