Event Navigation
In a magical dream of history, Orlando lives from Renaissance England to the twentieth century. His life begins as a beautiful and charismatic nobleman, a favorite of Queen Elizabeth, and the lover of a Russian princess. Heartbreak and a hunger for adventure and poetry lead Orlando to Constantinople where a night of debauchery sparks a transformation: Orlando becomes a woman and continues her adventures through several more centuries of challenges and passions. Virginia Woolf penned her novel in celebration of her friend and contemporary Vita Sackville-West who was a prolific writer and a notorious lover. Sarah Ruhl’s adaptation is sexy and surprising, blithe and earnest as it artfully plays with the attributes of gender, sexuality, identity, and freedom. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, March 12-27 at the Crane Theater, 2303 Kennedy St. NE. Theatre Pro Rata requires photo ID and proof of full vaccination or a negative Covid test within 72 hours for all audience members, staff, and artists. Tickets: $16-$61 (sliding scale) and must be purchased in advance: theatreprorata.org/box-office/
