Is this part pantomime, part Carry-On ? Oh no it’s not ! Oh yes it is ! Very intriguing opening scene involving the gradual appearance of 8 identically dressed Virginia Woolfs is immediately **** away with the arrival of Emma Corrin’s Orlando flashing their rubber **** and balls. Ooh, Matron. The Goddess that is Deborah Findlay delivers her Widow Twankey role as expertly as one would expect in this piece that does make some wry observations on the evolution of gender politics but is a bit too jokey to be really impactful.Read more →

A unique take on Virginia Woolf's writing, witty and light, fast moving. Emma Corrin is well cast, Deborah Findlay is brill, and the supporting cast is great. Go see it!Read more →

Lead was fantastic but the script / staging didn’t lift the best parts from the book.Read more →

Witty writing and witty, outstanding direction, imaginative , the strong narrative and clear, sharp characterisations shine through in this dazzling piece of theatre Spare, pacy and precise, everything about this production is a joy. British theatre at it‘s best . The pure simplicity and clarity of the design allow the performances to be at the forefront and the storytelling to sing out clear and proud. A real joy.Read more →

Witty, meta, and fully embraced the books whimsical structure. A lot of fun, though not groundbreaking. And that’s fine.Read more →

Orland-NO! The tone of this production felt wrong. The book (which I love) is imbued with the kind of slightly strained, knowing drollery used by presenters on Radio 3 After Dark, nominally slightly playful but fundamentally rather self important. It’s not panto, complete with a cockney dresser and multiple Virginias playing the dame. Emma Corrin does however give it their all.Read more →

Fantastic acting - particularly by the Virgina Woolfs - and intriguing narrative, tho pacing a little slow in the first half. Loved the costume changes too.Read more →

I haven’t read the book but my feeling is this is not a Woolf spirit version but a modern and new interpretation. I enjoyed the lightness of it and the direction. It’s fast paced and short, a good after work evening choiceRead more →
