When Viriginia Woolf chooses to invite an audience to watch the stage adaptation of her wildly imaginative, rollicking and groundbreaking novel Orlando she is surprised when the characters begin to contest the narrative and demand revisions, including songs, dances, and comic interludes. As the rehearsal progresses aspects of Virginia’s life merge with the lives of the characters. After falling in love with her lead character she is led to the realization of the healing and transformative power of love and art.

The Adventures of Orlando and Virginia was created and first performed at NYU’s Experimental Theater Workshop. We had the priviledge of a hungry, dedicated group of actors who were familiar with the same training and expermiental aesthetic that the story needed breaking conventions and bringing us to question our relationship with time and identity

The play was commissioned for a reading as part of the Acting Company’s Reading series staged at the Shiva Theater at the Public, and recently was published by Theatrical Rights Worldwide.
