WHAT happens if you can travel in time and have the ability to change sex?
You don’t need to watch Dr Who to find out, because the theme of decade-hopping gender swapping had already been explored by Virginia Woolf in her satirical 1928 novel, Orlando.
And the good news is, a stage production is coming to the Swan Theatre in Worcester.
A spokesman said, somewhat enigmatically: “Orlando: Who is she? Who is he? Who are we?
“Writer/director Elton Townend Jones and performer Rebecca Vaughan present the award-winning comedic tale of an immortal poet, whose gender cannot be pinned down, whose spirit cannot be caged, and whose irreverent, romantic adventures across British history, from the 1500s to 2019, provide a
magic-realist exploration of human identity; personal, sexual and national.
“Drawing on a decade’s worth of successful theatre-making, this is a life-affirming, feminist voyage into the soul.”
The performance is on Friday March 8, from 7.30pm.
