Beskrivelse
This adaptation of Virginia Woolf's novel asks the audience to reflect on how we become who we are, and on how we judge others.On a single day in 1920s London, we delve deep into the life of Clarissa Dalloway, as she prepares to throw a party for her high-society friends and members of the Government. We hear her interior monologue, her thoughts on others, and her reflection on her own place in this higher strata of society.In the same city, a very different story unfolds. First world war veteran Septimus Warren Smith, suffering from shell-shock and emotionally distanced from his wife, seeks help from the ruling class that Clarissa entertains. This adaptation opened at the Arcola Theatre, London in 2018 and used a cast of five. It was staged in an experimental way, to convey the intricacies of the novel and capture the characters' stream-of-consciousness. It is a fast-paced, dynamic take on Virginia Woolf's classic tale.
