Following a sold-out premiere season in 2016, Sentient Theatre’s stage adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s classic essay returns. Breathing new life into the history of women and literature, this production features four performers as aspects of Woolf’s mind in conversation with herself and the audience.

Today, with campaigns such as Me Too, Time’s Up and NOW Australia, A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf shines a light on our history with astounding relevance to contemporary society.

Sentient Theatre is a new collective of contemporary theatre practitioners with the goal of bringing important humanitarian narratives to the stage. Their inaugural piece, A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf, premiered at La Mama Courthouse in 2016 to overwhelmingly positive responses, igniting their desire to continue sharing this important story. Based on a series of lectures that gently interrogates the history of women and fiction, A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf carries striking relevance to contemporary conversations about gender disparity: a crucial topic to share.
