BBC Four - The Royal Ballet: Woolf Works

Ballet triptych inspired by the writings of Virginia Woolf.

Triptych inspired by Virginia Woolf's writings. Each act draws from a novel - Mrs Dalloway, Orlando and The Waves - combined with elements from letters, essays and diaries.

The Royal Ballet presents Wayne McGregor's triptych, inspired by the writings of Virginia Woolf, with an original score by Max Richter. Met with outstanding critical acclaim on its premiere in 2015, it went on to win McGregor the Critics' Circle Award for Best Classical Choreography and the Olivier Award for Best New Dance Production.

Each of the three acts draws from one of Woolf's iconic novels - Mrs Dalloway, Orlando and The Waves - combined with elements from her letters, essays and diaries.
