WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
This one and only play by Virginia Woolf (1882 - 1941) was written in 1923, revised in 1935, and is being revitalized in a collaboration between Women's Project and SITI Company for its first professional production in 2009.
In Freshwater, Virginia Woolf creates a deliberately witty and wacky universe peopled with a tribe of artists, friends and lovers in a playful mood. Legendary director Anne Bogart is at the helm of this theatrical escapade set in a Victorian garden on a summer evening, and a perfect diversion for audiences during the winter 2009.

Moreover, what was obviously just a playlet has been padded with all sorts of extraneous unfunny business in order to stretch out the evening's "entertainment" to an [...]
