Orlando by Sarah Ruhl is a fantastical, theatrical journey that follows the immortal
protagonist, Orlando, as they move through six centuries, searching for their true
identity and purpose. When we meet Orlando, he is a 16 year-old boy called to court
to serve Elizabeth I. By the end of the play, Orlando has transformed into a woman
of the 20th century, striving to make sense of our ever changing world.
