Taking its inspiration from Virginia Woolf’s 1928 essay A Room of One’s Own, The Virginia Monologues is an improvised show for two female performers. Sparked by audience suggestions, the show presents stories, monologues and scenes, all centering around the lives of women. Out of the hubbub of female voices past and present, historical and fictional, wonderful and terrifying emerges the story of women’s dreams and fears, their insecurities and triumphs. Comic at times, at times tragic or poignant, anything can happen. Every moment, including live music and lighting, is created on the spot.
The art of improvisation — theatre without a predetermined script, character or plot — is as old as human imagination itself. In The Virginia Monologues the stories will unfold as the evening unfolds, the actors discovering them at the same time as the audience. Theatre thereby becomes an act of creative complicity between the actors and the audience, who witness a rare moment of dramatic candour, an authentic act of creation.
