Virginia Woolf's Night & Day

Virginia Woolf's Night & Day opens at Harbour Lights Picturehouse on Saturday 27 June, with screenings running through to 9 July. It's a 95-minute comedy set in London in 1910, and the lead is Katharine Hilbery, an astronomer who spends her time trying to avoid romantic love and marriage. The story works its way through the scientific and technological shifts of the era and the slow decline of the Edwardian patriarchy, so it's as much about the world around her as it is about her own life.

Behind the camera is director Tina Gharavi, and the cast brings together a few familiar faces: Haley Bennett, Lily Allen, Jack Whitehall, and Jennifer Saunders. It's rated 12A, which means it's fine for a general audience, though younger ones under twelve might need a bit of supervision.

The cinema is at Maritime Walk in Ocean Village, SO14 3TL, a two-screen site with views over the marina. There's a bar and café on hand, so you can grab a drink before the film or stay for one afterwards. It's a commercial cinema run, so tickets are paid, and if you're a regular, there are annual memberships from £52 that bring free tickets, discounts on food and drink, and lower prices for standard entries.

There are plenty of times to choose from over the next couple of weeks. It starts on Saturday 27 June at 17:40, then continues on Sunday 28 June at 20:10, Monday 29 June at 17:45, and Tuesday 30 June at 15:30. Wednesday 1 July is at 14:30, and Thursday 2 July has two screenings, 15:30 and 19:45. After that, it's Sunday 5 July at 15:40, Monday 6 July at 15:00, and finally Thursday 9 July at 14:40.
