Virginia Woolf defied literary conventions to depict rich inner worlds. Woolf Works recreates the emotions, themes and fluid style of three of her celebrated novels - Mrs Dalloway, Orlando and The Waves - and captures the heart of Woolf's uniquely artistic spirit. Set to a specially commissioned score from Max Richter which uses classical and electronic sounds together with the spoken word to create an atmospheric haunting soundscape, McGregor leads a luminous artistic team to evoke Woolf's signature stream of consciousness writing style. Enter a world of heightened and startling emotions, echoes of memory and ghosts of time.
