Orlando London Tickets

“I am sick to death of this particular self. I want another.”

This winter, Emma Corrin lays down their crown and picks up the mantle of Orlando, Virginia Woolf’s timeless, enigmatic, non-binary noble. Following the titular character over several centuries — including the passing of Queen Elizabeth and the rise of King Charles — this eerily prescient tale is brought to The Garrick Theatre in a bold new adaptation by Olivier-nominated writer Neil Bartlett (The Game of Love and Chance, Berenice, The Dispute, In Extremis).

Previously staged with Isabelle Huppert in 1993 and Miranda Richardson in 1996, Orlando was brought into mainstream consciousness by Sally Potter’s 1992 film adaptation starring Tilda Swinton. Now, the tale is described by the 2022 company as, “One of the most surprising stories in the English language. An inspiring vision of all bodies having equal rights to love.”

Orlando Emma Corrin

Fresh off the back of their Olivier-nominated performance in Anna X at the Harold Pinter Theatre and The Lowry, Golden Globe winner Emma Corrin plays Orlando, the iconic gender-switching hero who lives for over 300 years. With the main character based on Virginia Woolf’s great love, Vita Sackville-West, Orlando has been described as “the longest and most charming love letter in literature”.

Starting in the 16th century and leading all the way up to 1928, Orlando’s adventures range from falling in love with a Russian princess and ice-skating on the frozen Thames at the great Frost Fair, to joining a Romani caravan and consorting with history’s most famous kings, queens, poets, and pirates — all the while shifting effortlessly from one gender to another.

A non-binary actor themselves, Corrin is ideally suited to the eponymous role, stating: “In my mind, gender just isn’t something that feels fixed. I don’t know if it ever will be; there might always be some fluidity there for me.”

Corrin will be backed by an eleven-strong cast led by award-winning director Michael Grandage (Labour of Love, Photograph 51, Genius, The Lieutenant of Inishmore, The Dazzle). Grandage and Corrin are no strangers to working with one another, and most recently collaborated on the upcoming film adaptation of Beth Robert’s critically-acclaimed 2012 novel, My Policeman, starring Harry Styles and David Dawson.
