A Room of One’s Own

Performed in the round by Ellie Zeegen and directed by Richard Baron

A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction Virginia Woolf

Employing a host of historical characters from Jane Austen to Shakespeare’s sister, the play showcases why the real Virginia Woolf’s brilliant, funny and richly entertaining essay about freedom and identity (written almost a hundred years ago as a lecture delivered to female undergraduates at Girton College, Cambridge) has become one of the most powerful and significant feminist manifestos of this time, indeed any time.

Firebrand Theatre Company’s new adaptation unfurls as a historical and literary quest that is rich in delicious irony and spiced with a range of colourful character sketches.

This performance by actress Ellie Zeegen has toured to great acclaim and sell-out audiences, including Pitlochry Festival Theatre’s Winter Words Festival in February 2025.

Audiences describe it as “Powerful, moving, brilliant and memorable”
