Tickets Now on Sale for Sarah Ruhl's Gender-Bending Orlando

You’ve read the Virginia Woolf novel, you’ve seen Tilda Swinton in the movie, and now you can savor Orlando on stage. Tickets are on sale for Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl’s adaptation of the gender-bending story, which will begin performances off-Broadway at Classic Stage Company on September 8, with opening night set for September 23, directed by Rebecca Taichman.

Orlando is described as your typical Elizabethan Man: a favorite of the Queen, madly in love with a Russian Princess, fleeing an Archduchess and waking up one fine day in Constantinople to find that he has become, of all things, a woman. She survives the 19th and 20th centuries grappling with what it means to live fully in the present, in one’s own skin, in one’s own gender, and in one’s own time.

Broadway vet Francesca Faridany (The 39 Steps) plays the title role in a cast that also includes theater regular David Greenspan (The Royal Family, Some Men) as Queen Elizabeth. Get tickets now for what’s sure to be an exciting theatrical event.
