Orlando

By Virginia Woolf
Adapted by Sarah Ruhl
Directed by Ashley Butler

This captivating theatrical adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s classic novel explores themes of gender, identity, and the fluidity of time. Set across centuries, the play follows the journey of Orlando, a young nobleman who defies the constraints of society and embarks on an extraordinary quest for self-discovery. Orlando’s exploits, including a love affair with Queen Elizabeth I, result in hilarious self-reflective moments. Through a magical and poetic narrative, Orlando is a spellbinding exploration of love, compassion, transformation, and the eternal search for belonging amidst a hostile world.
