Starring Golden Globe winner Emma Corrin

Virginia Woolf's trailblazing novel comes to the stage for a highly anticipated limited season, starring The Crown's Emma Corrin as the gender-defying Orlando. Adapted by Neil Bartlett and directed by Micheal Grandage, join Orlando on their epic four-century-long quest to answer one of life's ultimate questions; 'Who am I?'

First published in 1928, and reputedly based on the volatile family history of Woolf's friend and lover Vita Sackville-West, Orlando begins in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, where a young nobleman with pretensions of becoming a poet enraptures the aging monarch. Due to some unknown alchemy, the young Orlando outlives not just Elizabeth, but her heirs to the throne too. Never aging, but always changing, Orlando traverses the next few centuries in various states of love, heartbreak, professional success, and failure, one day waking as a woman. Unperturbed Orlando carries on, ever fascinated by identity.

A literary satire with feminist themes, the story is a timely mirror for our own society as gender issues are conflated with alarmist rhetoric and places the person, not their gender, at the forefront.
