They shattered convention with every stroke of the pen and brush—and tore through each other’s lives in the process.

The Bloomsbury Group wasn’t just a circle of intellectuals—it was a volatile mix of writers, artists, and thinkers who lived and loved on the edge of propriety. Virginia Woolf haunted the edges of genius and madness. Her sister, painter Vanessa Bell, reimagined beauty on her own terms. Economist John Maynard Keynes rewrote the rules of capitalism by day—and defied societal norms by night. Lytton Strachey, Duncan Grant, E.M. Forster—they all blurred the lines between friendship, sex, and ideology.

They talked about truth. They chased beauty. But beneath the elegance was something raw, radical, and quietly explosive.

Join Keith as he steps inside the salons and bedrooms of Bloomsbury—a world of brilliance, betrayal, and the bold few who dared to live without limits.
