Septimus and Clarissa, a new stage adaptation of  Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway, written by Ellen McLaughlin and directed by Rachel Dickstein, premiered today.

This developmental lab production, which is presented by Ripe Time, is in previews at the Nagelberg Theatre, Baruch Performing Arts Center, 55 Lexington Ave. in New York City.
