Orlando

From the award-winning creators of Jane Eyre: An Autobiography, Dalloway, Christmas Gothic, The Time Machine and Austen's Women.

Drawing on a decade's worth of critically-acclaimed theatre-making, Dyad Productions – performer Rebecca Vaughan and writer/director Elton Townend Jones – explore what it means to find our place in the world whilst remaining utterly true to who we are. 

Orlando: Who is she? Who is he? Who are we?  Find out in the life-affirming, comedic tale of an immortal poet, whose gender cannot be pinned down, whose spirit cannot be caged, and whose irreverent, romantic adventures across British history – from the 1500s to the present day – provide a magic-realist exploration of human identity; personal, sexual and national.  Based on the satirical 1928 novel by Virginia Woolf.

"A towering performance" (The Scotsman)

"A luscious sweeping tale" (The i)

"Quite simply: it's astounding" (Broadway Baby)

"Outstanding…gripping… Vaughan is never less than magnetic" (Three Weeks)

"Perfection… Vaughan is simply sublime" (Huffington Post)
