Nothing is any longer one thing. From a teenage encounter with Elizabeth I, through infatuations, voyages, and even a change of gender, Orlando lives out five centuries of life and love before they finally find the courage to truly be themselves.
Neil Bartlett's sparkling adaptation of Virginia Woolf's famous fantasy finds powerful contemporary relevance in her vision of equal rights to love for bodies of every kind – and brings it to life on the stage with a kaleidoscope of theatrical styles, overseen by the haunting figure of Woolf herself. It premiered at the Garrick Theatre in London's West End in November 2022, in a production directed by Michael Grandage and starring Emma Corrin in the title role. Written for a diverse ensemble of nine or more actors, this adaptation will appeal to any theatre or company looking to entertain their audiences with a bold new take on this iconic tale of love and transformation.
Orlando, a young man, meets Elizabeth I at a young age and their encounter sparks a lifelong journey of love, exploration, and transformation. Through their experiences, Orlando learns about the complexities of gender, identity, and the pursuit of happiness.
Orlando's journey takes them through various periods and places, from the courts of Elizabeth I to the courts of France, and from the bustling streets of London to the tranquil gardens of Italy. Along the way, they encounter a diverse range of characters, from courtiers and noblemen to artists and philosophers, who influence their lives and shape their beliefs.
Despite facing numerous challenges and obstacles, Orlando never loses sight of their true self. They navigate through periods of doubt, self-discovery, and rejection, ultimately finding the courage to be who they truly are.
In the end, Orlando's story is a testament to the power of love, the importance of self-acceptance, and the transformative power of living one's truth. It reminds us that no matter what obstacles we face, we can always find the courage to be ourselves and live a life that is true to our values and desires.
