A time-travelling, century-hopping, gleeful adventure through English history. Orlando explores time, place and gender as we follow Virginia Woolf ’s titular character through an unforgettable journey of self-discovery. In this playful stage adaptation by Neil Bartlett, Orlando’s story is repeatedly ‘reborn’ as it plays with gender, society’s rules and how we are supposed to present and love. This story is 100 years old but feels strikingly contemporary. Performed by second year BA Performance students, this accessible retelling of Orlando will incorporate a mixture of storytelling techniques such as British Sign Language, Visual Vernacular, spoken English and creative captioning.
