Acclaim
"Ms. Ruhl, the gifted playwright whose work has been characterized by a mixture of the feminist and the fabulist that finds a natural echo in “Orlando,” modestly cedes the stage to Woolf in this economical adaptation of Woolf’s 1928 novel."

About The Performance
Columbia University School of the Arts presents the MFA Acting class of 2023 in ORLANDO.
ORLANDO, Virginia Woolf’s time-bending novel adapted by Sarah Ruhl, is a poetic romp through several centuries. The play chronicles the life (and additional lives) of a nobleman who dreams of becoming a poet as both time and gender shift. This production, directed by Jimmy Maize, will question how an individual exists within historical parameters. How do we experience the world differently? It’s about writing through time and time through gender.
