It must be noted that Orlando: A Biography (1929) is not the easiest work to adapt into the stage. It is a beautifully dense work which confronts the role of gender, writing, and society throughout centuries of the British empire. In this role, Orlando is relegated to the role of observer, a tacit student to be educated. These small touches in lighting and set design help to emphasise and elevate the criticisms of British history which are so prevalent throughout Woolf’s work. Orlando played from 31st August to 28th September at the Belvoir St Theatre.
