[Vwoolf] another mrs dalloway musical

[Shannon, Drew [School of Arts & Humanities]]

Hi, Mark, and all!

Yes, this Dalloway musical has been in the works for some time.  Last semester, I heard from the writer, who asked if I could attend a workshop of it, but it was held during the day when I was teaching, and I couldn’t go.  I might be doing talks on Woolf and Dalloway before the Thursday evening performances, as they usually have local academics talk about the works in question on those evenings.  (I last did it for their really wonderful production of Orwell’s 1984 a few years ago.)  I’ll keep the list updated with any further info that I get, in case people who are in the vicinity are interested in attending.

Cheers,
Drew

Mrs. Dalloway: A New Musical
Book, Music, and Lyrics by Lindsey Augusta Mercer. Inspired by Virginia Woolf’s Novel.
May 23-June 15, 2025
Mrs. Dalloway hosts tonight! You’re invited to the soiree of the century: a new musical adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s classic novel. It is 1923 and the pandemic and WWI have ravaged Europe, but Clarissa Dalloway is determined to throw the greatest party London has ever seen. While she buys the flowers and makes last-minute preparations, serendipitous reunions force her to confront the past. As she dismantles the façade she tirelessly upholds, she rekindles connections with friends and lovers, awakening her inner desires for the words she never spoke and the paths of love she never took.  Don’t miss this World Premiere of Virginia Woolf’s iconic introspective novel reimagined for the stage as a musical with a sweeping neo-golden age score underpinned with a contemporary folk pop.
