People should not leave looking glasses hanging in their rooms
any more than they should leave open cheque books
or letters confessing some hideous crime.
One could not help looking, that summer afternoon,
in the long glass that hung outside in the hall . . .
- Virginia Woolf
Dear Rogue Friends -
Last night we staged the musical interludes that will link our concert of Virginia Woolf stories together. The cast, taking inspiration from the variety of Woolf's characters that they play and filled with the sounds of French impressionist music, created a series of wordless images of desire, disappointment, and ecstasy. Soon a baby grand piano will arrive in the theatre, and the music, like Woolf's people, will be alive with us in the room.
While uncovering the facets of each moment in these stories, we've gotten to know this astonishing author for whom a moment, a place, a person was never about one thing alone, but many things at once. She was persistent in her search for truth.
Come join us in the search.
