This adaptation of Virginia Woolf's novel asks the audience to
reflect on how we become who we are, and on how we judge others.
_x000D_ 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. We hear her
interior monologue, her thoughts on others, and her reflection on
her own place in this higher strata of society. _x000D_ In the same
city, a very different story unfolds. First world war veteran
Septimus Warren Smith, suffering from shell-shock and emotionally
distanced from his wife, seeks help from the ruling class that
Clarissa entertains.
Callisto is a swirling constellation of remarkable queer stories,
weaving together four stories of same-sex relationships from across
the ages. Hurtle across time and space with this scintillating and
extraordinary new play. launching from a 17th-century opera house
through cislunar space and into the distant future, Callisto tells
four stories that have nothing and everything in common. In London,
1680, opera star Arabella Hunt has secretly entered into the first
recorded gay marriage in UK history. In Worcester, 1936, Alan
Turing pays one final visit to Isobel Morcom, mother of his lost
first love, Christopher. In the San Fernando Valley, 1979, Tammy
Frazer arrives at Callisto Pornographic Studios, searching for the
love of her life. And on the Moon, 2223, Lorn is building a
paradise to sleep in, but his A.I. companion Cal is determined to
keep him awake. These love stories are both poignant and comic - a
bright constellation of queer encounters. Callisto premiered at The
Pleasance Dome at the Edinburgh Festival in 2016 and transferred to
the Arcola Theatre, London.
