Lock up your libraries if you like. There is no lock, no gate, no bolt you can set upon the freedom of my mind!
Cambridge University, 1928. Virginia Woolf is abruptly ordered off the grass and refused entry to the library. Her crime? Being a woman.
Following this, Woolf interrogates the crushing injustice of women living in 1920s Britain. With an incisive mix of integrity and visceral charm, Woolf forms her ideas about Shakespeares Sister, Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte and Aphra Behn among others.
In this witty, poignant and provocative adaptation, Alexander reminds us that the issues at the heart of A Room of Ones Own remain as relevant today as they were a hundred years ago.
