A one-woman play with music on the life of Virginia Woolf is coming to Dorchester this weekend.

Lucy Stevens returns to Dorchester Arts with 'Virginia Woolf: Killing the Angel', which weaves the life of Virginia Woolf, as expressed in her own words, with music and songs by female composers who were her contemporaries - much of which is out of print and rarely performed.

Through Woolf's writing, it reveals her troubled childhood and her views on literature, the Bloomsbury group, the challenges women face as artists and how women's work has been omitted from histories of music and the arts.

Virginia Woolf: Killing the Angel is the latest collaboration between professional actor and classical singer, Lucy Stevens and pianist Elizabeth Marcus, a Fellow and professor of harpsichord at Guildhall School of Music, following their previous acclaimed plays about women in music, 'Ethel Smyth: Grasp the Nettle' and 'Kathleen Ferrier Whattalife!'

Tickets cost £15 or £13 for members of Dorchester Arts, under 18s or those on low income and are available from dorchesterarts.org.uk

Virginia Woolf: Killing the Angel takes place on Sunday, January 30 from 8pm at Dorchester Corn Exchange.
