Cambridge University, 1928. Virginia Woolf is ordered off the grass and refused entry to the library. Her crime? Being a woman. Following this, Woolf interrogates the crushing injustice of women living in 1920’s Britain in her seminal text 'A Room of One's Own'. With an incisive mix of integrity and visceral charm, Woolf forms her ideas about Shakespeare’s Sister, Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte and Aphra Behn among others.
Heather Alexander brings Woolf’s iconic text to the stage. In this witty, poignant and provocative production, she reminds us that the issues at the heart of 'A Room of One’s Own' remain as relevant today as they were a hundred years ago.
Written & performed by Heather Alexander.
