Written by Virginia Woolf

Adapted for the Stage by Carissa Licciardello & Tom Wright

Directed by Carissa Licciardello

What started as a lecture to a roomful of students became an essay, became a book, became a seismic wave. Virginia Woolf’s 1929 classic description of the need for new spaces and a complete redefinition of who owns our story making is by turns wise, amusing, incendiary and poetic. Rippling with passion, this is one of the finest pieces of writing in the last hundred years, with the distinct talents of Anita Hegh walking Woolf’s tightrope of thought and feeling.

A teacher once told me work by and about women is usually only small and domestic, never bold or formally radical. He’d obviously never read this (or seen our production). – Carissa Licciardello
