To the blogger of this wonderful site: I have just seen that a french/british collaboration on a play adapted from Between the Acts is to occur in france in sept., 2013. do you know any more about this? I can’t find any more information, except what i initially saw on the info available on the University of Creative Arts, UK site. Would be interested to know who did the adaptation; will the play initially be performed in french’ etc.? Evidently the Royal Opera is involved. thank you, karen bercovici
Thanks for the information. I will check with my sources and let you know if I can find out any more details.

MINDING TIME: VIRGINIA WOOLF
July 17-22, 2011
Toronto, Ontario
In the years between the Great Wars, armed with determination, insight, and a rare gift for lyrical prose, Virginia Woolf set out to reshape the novel her generation inherited from the Victorians. Convinced that “on or about December 1910, human character changed,” Woolf wrote fiction that newly represented the flow and mystery of consciousness. Through the unconventional swerve, the surprising connection, and the painterly scene, Woolf reveals the complex inner lives of such apparently prosaic characters as a middle-class woman planning a party, a shell-shocked former soldier, and a family staying at a beach house. Rooted in its own time, her fiction explores questions for all time: How can we live meaningfully, knowing the horrors that go on in the world? How can we truly know one another? What of lasting value can be salvaged from human life and death? We will consider such questions in the light of two of Woolf’s masterpieces, Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse, along with excerpts from A Room of One’s Own and a few other essays.
