WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Spanning three centuries, Orlando chronicles the boisterous adventures of a young nobleman in Queen Elizabeth's court, who awakens in the middle of his life to discover he is now a she, and immortal to boot. What ensues is a journey between the less accepting 18th and 19th centuries, in which Orlando becomes a wife, mother, and finally a witness to the brink of full suffrage for women. From the novel by Virginia Woolf, adapted by Sarah Ruhl.
