About the Show

Orlando's timeless, gender-bending odyssey from Elizabethan courtier to modern woman.

Orlando's journey commences in youth as a courtier for Queen Elizabeth. Over centuries, they transform into a 20th-century woman, grappling with their identity. Adapted from Virginia Woolf's captivating love letter to Vita Sackville-West, Sarah Ruhl's Orlando offers a wild, fantastical exploration of space, time, and gender.
