Moving in and out of three centuries and from one gender to the other, Orlando is Virginia Woolf's sparkling tribute to the timeless vitality of Vita Sackville-West.

Youthful Elizabethan poet, man of action, adored woman, Victorian lady; all are aspects of the one personality. By choosing his/her own sexual identity, Orlando is able to triumph over anatomy and chronology. Clever, witty, ornate, a shade mocking and brilliantly perceptive, Orlando was made into a stunning film and is an imaginative fantasy unsurpassed in modern literature.
