The Lyric Stage of Boston presents Virginia Woolf's ORLANDO, opening February 23rd and running through March 25th. A literary love letter to Woolf's lover and friend Vita Sackville-West, ORLANDO follows the titular character as he goes to bed one night as a man, and wakes up the next morning as a woman. This enables Orlando to see the world through new eyes.
