From the BBC Radio Drama Collection come adaptations of seven of Virginia Woolf’s pioneering
modernist novels, available on CD and as a digital download.
Out since last April, each is a full-cast dramatization by such notable actors as Vanessa Redgrave and Kristin Scott-Thomas. Each includes sound effects — background chatter and the pouring of tea in Night and Day; horses’ hoofs pounding the road and trumpets sounding in Orlando; the gramophone playing, the cows mooing, and the audience clapping in Between the Acts.
The original radio broadcasts took place between October 1980 and May 2012.
The audio versions of Woolf’s novels are available in the UK and the U.S. The cost of the 14-disk CD set in the U.S. is around $30. Playing time is 11 hours and 55 minutes.

- Mrs. Dalloway (1925)
- To the Lighthouse (1927)
