.Directed by Christopher Menaul with a screenplay written by Jonathan Smith based on his 1995 novel, SUMMER IN FEBRUARY stars Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey), Dominic Cooper (The Devil's Double), Emily Browning (Sucker Punch) and winner of the Evening Standard and the Critics' Choice Theatre Awards for Best Actress for her performance in the Young Vic's A Doll's House; Harriet Morahan.

Renowned painter Laura Knight is played by Hattie Morahan. True - and deeply moving - the story is played out against the timeless beauty of the Cornish coast, in the far West of England, beyond the reach of London and its stifling conventions.
