Full casting for Michael Grandage’s production of Neil Barlett’s new version of Orlando, the classic novel by Virginia Woolf, has been announced, and we’re in for a treat. We’ve already announced Emma Corrin in the lead role, and we know Michael Grandage directs, reunited with the actress after their remarkable collaboration on the Amazon feature film My Policeman. The production kicks off at the Garrick on 26th November.
Who’s involved in Orlando
Born in the reign of Elizabeth 1st, our hero-heroine Orlando explores five centuries and experiences all sorts of extraordinary encounters in search of answers to the ancient question: how do any of us find the courage to truly be ourselves? It’s a question that still resonates today. Orlando opens at the Garrick Theatre this November for a strictly limited season. The plot is a delight, and with Michael Grandage involved it’s bound to be an exceptional production.
