Britain's What's On Event Guide
Woo Woolf
This is not a Virginia Woolf bio-play. Devised by an all migrant ensemble, Woo Woolf is a playful protest that reaches across time, culture, and language to meet Virginia Woolf in mischief and metaphor. Tracing gendered histories, fleeting memories, and migrant feelings through bodies, screens, and shifting voices, the piece invites new ways of seeing, feeling, and remembering across language and tradition.
Created by Ensemble Not Found (ENF), a collective of first-generation ESEA artists, Woo Woolf draws inspiration from Woolf’s diaries and gender philosophy to explore fluid identity through movement, multilingual text, and audiovisual performance. Blending everyday conversation with surreal imagery and fragmented theatrical forms, the work gently unsettles cultural boundaries and fixed narratives. Developed since 2023, Woo Woolf has been performed at Theatre Deli and Camden People’s Theatre.
'This is not your average storytelling. It can be puzzling. And yet, I can’t stop looking' - The Play's The Thing UK
‘The performance was truly beautiful and sincere. Powerful and soft, hitting you in the right spot while leaving a smile on your face.” - Audience response
