An adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s 1925 novel, Mrs. Dalloway, this play tells the story of one day in the life of a woman as she prepares to host a party. Clarissa Dalloway recalls memories of her life as an adventurous, free-spirited young woman. Thirty years later, the 1918 Pandemic took an enormous toll on her both physically and mentally. Septimus Warren Smith, a “shell-shocked” World War I Veteran, is constantly haunted by flashbacks of World War I. Even though Clarissa and Septimus never meet, they could be the same person. Clarissa questions society’s fervent insistence to move forward as if nothing happened. While she seeks the reverence of everything that was lost due to the Pandemic and War, she deeply reevaluates all the choices she’s made in her life.
