TIME TO TALK: VIRGINIA WOOLF’S MRS. DALLOWAY

A virtual book discussion of Virginia Woolf’s 1925 novel Mrs. Dalloway, which entered into the public at the beginning of 2021. Streamed live on Saturday, January 23, 2021 at 1:00pm. Featuring a reading by TSL co-director Claudia Bruce.

Woolf’s stream of consciousness writing style provides a lasting framework for our own self-exploration in the time of the NOW – the twenty-first century and the COVID-19 Pandemic. TSL co-director Linda Mussmann first read Woolf fifty-plus years ago. Her work shaped Linda’s life as an artist and has inspired many of TSL’s own original theater productions. We look forward to revisiting Mrs. Dalloway and Virginia Woolf again and again.
