As Virginia Woolf, in a portrayal described as an “uncanny likeness,” she invites the audience into an imagined dialogue.
The setting is intimate. You can imagine yourself in the drawing room of one of England's only women's colleges in 1928.
The furnishings are plain, but the richness of ideas and passion illuminating them will warm and enliven you.
Come and draw up to the fire of this brilliant mind. Decide for yourself if her ideas still resonant.
Stay after the performance and share your thoughts on the life of Shakespeare's sister. Ask questions about Virginia herself.
“Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.”
Virginia Woolf deploys her penetrating genius, brilliantly crafted arguments and ravishing language in support of educational and economic equality for her sex. She traces the link between economic freedom – long denied to women – and “freedom of the mind.” Her interest in the subject was personal; as a young woman in Victorian England, she was denied a formal education. Even in a family as literary as Virginia's, who recognized her early genius, all the educational opportunities were reserved for the sons.
