"I'm sick to death of this particular self. I want another."
Lucy Roslyn's play is the story of a person looking for escape - just as Virginia Woolf imagined her own freedom in the pages of "Orlando," a book which strains at the boundaries of identity: are we any one thing? Or are our selves “stacked like dinner plates,” one on top of the other?
A new play that defies labels, directed by JMK Award winner Josh Roche and inspired by Virginia Woolf's legendary novel.
Orlando was developed with Jamie Firth for BoonDog Theatre.

Roslyn is a completely captivating and magnetic performer. There is no fourth wall, and no chance to take your eyes off her – but you wouldn’t want to even if you could.
