Dalloway (Theater Performance)

Join the garden group at the magical 6BC Botanical Garden for a site-specific workshop presentation of Dalloway, a new play written by Lindsay Joelle and directed by Olivia Facini. A feminist, queer-positive, pop-period prequel to Virginia Woolf’s celebrated Mrs. Dalloway. Dalloway explores new dimensions of the novel and its iconic characters, imagining what might have happened thirty five years before the events of the story, during the fateful weekend that changed the course of their lives forever.

Set against the backdrop of the women's suffrage movement, unrest in British-ruled India, and the growing shadow of fascism in Europe, the play touches on pressing contemporary issues including bodily autonomy, mental health visibility, multicultural equity and inclusion, and LGBTQ+ acceptance and legal protection. This is not your grandmother's Mrs. Dalloway.

RSVP on Eventbrite.

Bring a chair or a blanket if you'd like (there are also benches scattered around the garden), and get ready to experience a memorable afternoon of theater. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to experience the novel and our lovely community garden in a whole new way. We're excited to see you there!
