Orlando
The Brandeis University Department of Theater Arts put on Sarah Ruhl’s adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s novel, “Orlando,” from Friday March 11 to Sunday March 13.
The play tells the story of Orlando, a character who undergoes a gender transition, who in the meantime is thrown into love affairs with real historical figures.
Orlando tricks the Archduke, played by Peirce Robinson ’22, out of his money by guessing which cube of sugar a fly would land on.
Orlando had a moment of self-discovery in the middle of the second act.
Orlando, played by Ellie Forster ’24, holds hands with his love interest, Sasha, played by Laya Fridman ’25.
