Orlando – Publicist

19:00, Tue 28th October – Sat 1st November 2025 at Corpus Playroom

“As I often say to myself, in order to make a story, or indeed, a life, one must surely ask oneself, at least to start with… who am I?”

Finding the courage to be yourself. A play of radical acceptance, following the life of young Orlando as they navigate growing up, love, life and loss all the way from the court of Elizabeth I, right up until the 1920s. If a life lived for hundreds of years was not enough, Orlando goes from living life as a man, to living life as a woman.

Written for, and based on, Woolf’s lover, the enigmatic Vita Sackville-West, Orlando is a lyrical love letter to queerness and self-discovery. A tender portrait of a person who lives as much as the world has to offer and more.

Bartlett’s bold adaptation celebrates the continuing importance of Orlando’s story, in a new and inclusive, whimsical and moving tale.
