Life in Squares dramatizes the extraordinary lives of the Bloomsbury Group, an influential set of artists and intellectuals.

Told over 40 years, from the death of Queen Victoria to the Second World War, the story 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.

Surrounded by the finest progressive minds of the day including the writer Lytton Strachey, art critic Clive Bell, and economist Maynard Keynes they are determined to shake off the shackles of Victorian England.

Vanessa has settled into marriage and motherhood, and Virginia is enjoying huge public acclaim. But the emotional entanglements of their past have taken their toll can the sisters truly escape the pall cast by their repressive parents, or will they ultimately inflict the same mistakes on generations to come?
