Sarah Ruhl's play "Orlando" explores themes of transformation and gender fluidity. Based on Virginia Woolf's novel of the same name, the play follows the title character as they transition from a man to a woman while in Constantinople. Ruhl's script allows Orlando to express their gender in exuberant ways, while also highlighting the limitations and societal expectations placed on women. The play's production at Signature Theatre in New York features a diverse cast, including gender-fluid performer Taylor Mac. Ruhl's adaptation is just one of many interpretations of Woolf's novel, each offering a unique perspective on gender and identity. [Extracted from the article] |
