One Night Only
Room – A journey into the creative mind of Virginia Woolf
DIRECTED BY DOMINIQUE GERRARD.
Overview
A woman must have money and a room of her own
Cambridge University, 1928. Virginia Woolf, the celebrated writer, 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 in1920’s Britain. She slices through notions of gender disparity with an incisive mix of integrity and visceral charm as she forms her ideas about Shakepeare’s Sister, Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte and Aphra Behn among others.
Heather Alexander brings Virginia Woolf’s iconic text to the stage. In this witty, poignant and provocative adaptation, Alexander 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.
