Description
Award-winning Dyad Productions (Lady Susan, I, Elizabeth, Female Gothic, Austen's Women) return with a 21st century take on Virginia Woolf's blisteringly brilliant pre-TED talk. Take an amusing and incisive trip through the history of literature, feminism and gender. Meet Charlotte Brontë, Jane Austen, Aphra Behn, and Shakespeare's sister, Judith! Introducing a different way to look at creativity, it even comments on what life will be like in the 2020s! Come and be amused, challenged and changed. Rebecca Vaughan performs Woolf's 1928 exploration of the impact of poverty and sexual inequality on intellectual freedom and creativity.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

The perfect way to induldge in this feminist classic, seeing as Virginia's Woolf essay was based on a lecture. The delivery brings Woolf's thoughts to life as the actress takes on us on a journey from Oxbridge to London, into our present day and beyond. Great for discussions after the show, filled with lots of thoughts and engaging metaphors, delivered freshly off the lips of Virgina Woolf.

I love the book and loved this one-woman show. So enjoyed an afternoon in the company of Virginia Woolf. Rebecca Vaughan put on a great performance. Loved the attention to detail from the books on the table to the period shoes she wore. Five stars.

As ever, Dyad and Rebecca Vaughn deliver the goods in this excellent production. Rebecca sets out Virginia Woolf's argument in fine style.
Not the easiest of venues to attend as there does not seem to be good public transport access, but there is parking.
Try and catch this show, you will not be disappointed!
