SEPTIMUS AND CLARISSA
SEPTIMUS AND CLARISSA takes audiences on a timely and harrowing ride inside the minds of a shell-shocked World War I veteran and an upper-class housewife forced to face her deepest fears. This visceral exploration of Woolf’s groundbreaking novel dives deep into the tensions of post-WWI London to expose the darkness that lurks beneath the fragile surface of peace.
Created in collaboration with the ensemble: Craig Baldwin, LeeAnne Hutchison, Paula McGonagle, Ellen McLaughlin, Tom Nelis, Henry Stram, Susan Pellegrino, Tommy Schrider, and Miriam Silverman.

“Thrilling and richly theatrical… Septimus and Clarissa” finds hypnotic poetry in the ordinary, the solemn, the rapturous and just about everything in between.” – The New York Times
