The Royal Ballet

Woolf Works

Encore Screening

Virginia Woolf defied literary conventions to depict rich inner worlds – her heightened, startling and poignant reality.

Resident Choreographer of The Royal Ballet Wayne McGregor leads a luminous artistic team to evoke Woolf’s signature stream of consciousness writing style in this immense work that rejects traditional narrative structures. Woolf Works is a collage of themes from Mrs Dalloway, Orlando, The Waves and Woolf’s other writings, set to music by iconic composer Max Richter (The Leftovers, Ad Astra).

Created in 2015 for The Royal Ballet, this Olivier-award winning ballet triptych captures the heart of Woolf’s uniquely artistic spirit.
