About this show
1931. Virginia Woolf delivers a withering critique of patriarchy and reveals with a timeless honesty, her powerful yet troubled mind. She dips deep into her own stream of consciousness from The Waves, Orlando and To the Lighthouse and her polemic essay, A Room of One's Own. Woolf's clarity on women when 'writing one's mind', champions writers from our past to inspire the voices of our future. Directed by Fringe First winner Margarett Perry, Lucy Stevens returns to the drawing room after her sold out five-star run Off-Broadway.

Classy, elegant and a homage to female writers since Sappho, An Audience with Virginia Woolf: Writing One’s Mind explores the author’s life through the struggles she faced and her literary heroines.

Margarett Perry directs the show with a very light touch ensuring that what could feel very static or include unecessary movement feels completely natural.
