February 26 – March 1, 2026
Orlando
by Virginia Woolf
Adapted by Sarah Ruhl
Benson Theatre
226 Bull St.
Sarah Ruhl’s adaptation of the “longest and most charming love letter in literature” is a wild, fantastical trip through space, time and gender. Orlando’s story begins as a young man serving as courtier to Queen Elizabeth I, but his yearning for more takes him on a centuries-long adventure that finds him, in the 18th century, unexpectedly transformed into a woman. Orlando’s travels form the heart of a dazzling tale where gender and gender preferences shift regularly, with hilarious and heartfelt results. “...faithfully recreates the incidents Woolf uses to illustrate her ideas about the fluidity of gender and identity, and the great mysteries of time.” – The New York Times
