RUN TIME
2 hrs 45 mins

Monday 9 February: 1915
Thursday 12 February: 1200

An experimental ballet triptych inspired by the genre-defying works and writings of Virginia Woolf.

Virginia Woolf defied literary conventions to depict rich inner worlds – her heightened, startling and poignant reality. Resident Choreographer Wayne McGregor leads a luminous artistic team to evoke Woolf’s signature stream of consciousness writing style in this immense work that rejects traditional narrative structures.

Woolf Works is a collage of themes from Mrs Dalloway, Orlando, The Waves and Woolf’s other writings. Created in 2015 for The Royal Ballet and set to an original score by Max Richter, this Olivier-award winning ballet triptych captures the heart of Woolf’s uniquely artistic spirit.
