An Audience with Virginia Woolf: Writing One’s Mind

In this compelling new play, Virginia Woolf delivers a withering critique of patriarchy, laying bare her brilliant, complex mind. Drawing from her novels The Waves, Orlando and To the Lighthouse and her polemic essay A Room of One’s Own, Woolf dips into her own stream of consciousness to reveal her clarity on women and the fissure of her vulnerability. The play celebrates women winning their freedom in literature and championing writers from our past to inspire the voices of our future.

Written and performed by Lucy Stevens, an actor, singer and theatre maker. Lucy Stevens creates new work telling women’s stories, touring throughout the UK and internationally and has featured on BBC 2, BBC Radio 3 and BBC Radio 4. Lucy returns to Wilton’s Music Hall following her previous acclaimed performances of Gertrude Lawrence: A lovely way to spend an evening in 2024 and Kathleen Ferrier Whattalife! in 2025.

Directed by Scotsman Fringe First award winner Margarett Perry, an acclaimed director of new work and the Artistic Director of Twilight Theatre Company, based in New York.
