MTU CSM BA in Theatre and Drama Studies presents:

Orlando

by Neil Bartlett

‘by arrangement with Nick Hern Books’

From a teenage encounter with Elizabeth I, through infatuations, voyages and even a change of gender, Orlando lives out five centuries of life and love before they finally find the courage to truly be themselves.

Neil Bartlett's sparkling adaptation of Virginia Woolf's famous fantasy finds powerful contemporary relevance in her vision of equal rights to love for bodies of every kind – and brings it to life on the stage with a kaleidoscope of theatrical styles, overseen by the haunting figure of Woolf herself.

Orlando premiered at the Garrick Theatre in London's West End in 2022. This exciting new production by the graduate Theatre and Drama students of MTU CSM will be the premiere of this bold new take on Woolfe’s iconic tale of love and transformation in Ireland.

Directed by Regina Crowley, Set & Lighting Design by Aoife Cahill, Costume Design by Valentina Gambardella, Sound Design by Cormac O'Connor, Production Manager Michael-Anthony Greene
