Borderland

Touring theatre with original live music set
in a large, floppy, white, canvas environment.

Inspired by the life of Virginia Woolf and her novel 'Orlando'.

Alternating between scenes evoked by the book's jaunt through centuries and genders, and scenes showing her struggle to interpret her ideas and passions, her aspirations and doubts.


 

 

"See this piece.
See it for it's boldness, for it's passion,
it's capacity to be as intense as despair,
as playful as holidays;
drama, dance and music combine to present
a spectacle of strange and terrible beauty."

Matthew Branton, Sheffield City Press
