Mrs Dalloway’s London
St. James' Park underground station, London (Westminster Abbey/Broadway exit, opposite 40 Broadway)
Guided by Stephen
Virginia Woolf’s novel Mrs Dalloway is a tour de force. Literary modernism reaches its peak of perfection in that book – on that walk through London on that day in 1923. We walk with Mrs Dalloway. Walk her London. See it with her eyes.
The walk is guided – and performed – by Steve N., a Royal Shakespeare Company actor. That’s important because Mrs Dalloway is essentially a prose poem – arguably the most beautifully written novel of the last 100 years.
In situ Steve* will read the relevant passages to us. The words, the delivery, the setting – everything comes together. Special walk, special couple of hours. More than special – unforgettable.
*Fiercely intelligent, terrifyingly talented, distinguished actor. Royal Shakespeare Company, West End shows, lots of films, Sir Peter Hall’s Shakespeare productions, etc. Best ear ever. His impersonation of John Lennon is a resurrection. Doesn’t just guide Shakespeare, performs him. Brilliantly (on his Sunday afternoon Shakespeare’s & Dickens’ City walk – but see for yourself, here’s the video).
MRS DALLOWAY’S LONDON – THE PRACTICALS
The meeting point for the Mrs Dalloway’s London walk is just outside the Westminster Abbey/Broadway exit of St. James’s Park Tube.
