Recorded Live
Resident Choreographer Wayne McGregor’s experimental ballet triptych inspired by the genre-defying works and writings of Virginia Woolf, set to an original score by Max Richter.

One of most groundbreaking writers of 20th-century, Virginia Woolf defied literary conventions to depict rich inner worlds – her heightened, startling and poignant reality. Moving away from traditional narrative storytelling, Woolf Works evokes Woolf’s stream of consciousness writing style with a collage of themes from Mrs Dalloway, Orlando, The Waves and her other writings. Created for The Royal Ballet in 2015 and winner of an Olivier and a Critics’ Circle National Dance Award, Woolf Works captures the heart of Woolf’s uniquely artistic spirit.
