"He needed something he could attach his floating heart to." Based on the Virginia Woolf novel and adapted by Sarah Ruhl, *Orlando* is the story of a charismatic genderfluid English noble and poet who journeys from Queen Elizabeth I’s court to Shakespeare’s London, from Constantinople to Victorian England, and finally to the bustle of the 20th century. As they fall in and out of love, create poetry, and explore their gender, their world expands and time leaps forward. *Orlando* is a joyous romp through the universal quest to discover one's true self, one's place in the world, and one’s happiness. 

*Discussions of death, references to sexual and romantic relationships.*
