ORLANDO is a new electro-folk musical, inspired by Virginia Woolf’s seminal novel of the same name that was first published nearly 100 years ago.

A young poet changes gender and lives for nearly 300 years in this whirlwind tale of romance and betrayal, using flourishes of poetry and satire to explore queer identity and the ease with which individuals can exist between binaries. Featuring five performers who all play the title character, this innovative theatrical and musical event is not to be missed.
