Orlando

by Virginia Woolf
adapted by Neil Bartlett
 

Neil Bartlett's sparkling adaptation of Virginia Woolf's ground-breaking fantasy finds powerful contemporary relevance in the novelist’s vision of equal rights to love for bodies of every kind.

Orlando, a young nobleman in Queen Elizabeth I’s court, embarks on a remarkable journey through time, love and self-discovery. From infatuations to voyages and gender transformation, Orlando’s five centuries of life and love lead them toward the fundamental question: Who am I?

Ellen McDougall, former Artistic Director of the Gate Theatre, directs this contemporary and imaginative take on a timeless tale which promises to captivate audiences with its celebration of love, transformation, and the courage to truly be oneself.

This adaptation of Orlando premiered at London’s Garrick Theatre in 2022.
 

“Neil Bartlett’s giddy adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s novel radiates gleeful intelligence, rampaging heart and tremendous fun. It couldn’t feel more timely, and it’s glorious.” - The Guardian
