MRS DALLOWAY (Oberon Modern Plays) - Softcover

On a single day in 1920s London, we delve deep into the life of Clarissa Dalloway, as she prepares to throw a party for her high-society friends and members of the Government. In the same city, a very different story unfolds, as first world war veteran Septimus Warren Smith seeks help from the ruling class that Clarissa entertains. A fast-paced, dynamic take on Virginia Woolf`s classic tale Mrs Dalloway, in a bold new free version by Hal Coase.
