By recollecting events in the play and my life in which the appearance of a situation overshadowed…

Orlando is a story that spans across many ages. We begin in the Elizabethan era and are brought age through age into the 20th century. Even more, the plot is based on a book written by Virgina Woolfe in 1928, yet all the while the theatrical experience of Orlando was constructed barely two decades ago. It plays with the past while remaining aware of the present. Sarah Ruhl's stage adaptation of Orlando is a postmodern exercise in deconstruction. Ruhl removes the veil of time away from Virgina…
