Mrs Dalloway by Hal Coase

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.
