Take a seat for a special screening of the well-regarded 1992 film adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s novel, ‘Orlando’, directed by Sally Potter with Tilda Swinton portraying Orlando, Billy Zane as Marmaduke Bonthrop Shelmerdine and Quentin Crisp as Queen Elizabeth I.
‘Orlando’, was published in 1928 and is a fictional biography of the immortal Orlando, who begins life as a young nobleman in Elizabethan England and later transforms into a woman. The novel is a satirical examination of gender roles and a commentary on the fluidity of identity. Woolf wrote ‘Orlando’ as a love letter to her lover, Vita Sackville-West, and the novel is considered a landmark work of queer literature.
