ROOM – A Journey into The Creative Mind of Virginia Woolf

Heather Alexander

A unique dramatic interpretation of Virginia Woolf's A Room of One’s Own

"Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind." 

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.


Highly critically acclaimed, this outstanding show provides a witty, provocative yet accessible homage to one of feminism's brightest minds. During the performance, the audience are invited into Woolf’s study and then follow her on her journey between lecture halls, the British Museum and Oxbridge. We share Woolf’s insights, her frustrations and her biting humour as she reflects on the many barriers that women have faced and how courageously female writers have fought to be recognised. 

ROOM asks the audience to embrace artistic progress and to celebrate creativity for all, regardless of gender and imposed societal constraints.

Written & performed by Heather Alexander.
Directed by Dominique Gerrard.
