Cambridge University, 1928. Virginia Woolf is abruptly ordered off the grass and refused entry to the library.
Her crime?
Being a woman.
Following this, Woolf interrogates the crushing injustice of women living in 1920’s Britain. With an incisive mix of integrity and visceral charm, Woolf forms her ideas about Shakespeare’s Sister, Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte and Aphra Behn among others.
A unique interpretation of Virginia Woolf’s fundamental ideas about gender, creativity, and thwarted opportunity.
Highly critically acclaimed, this outstanding show provides a witty and provocative homage to one of feminism’s brightest minds.
Heather Alexander (Best Actor – Buxton Fringe) brings Woolf’s iconic text to the stage. In this witty, poignant and provocative production, reminds us that the issues at the heart of A Room of One’s Own remain as relevant today as they were a hundred years ago.
“Lock up your libraries if you like. There is no lock, no gate, no bolt you can set upon the freedom of my mind!”
