Description "In this pensive one-woman play, Pamela Rabe recreates Woolf's lecture in a sustained, and by turns angry or whimsical, speculation, builds on that fact to indict men's treatment of women throughout the ages. More importantly, it is not men's behavior as such that is her point, but rather how difficult it is to discuss women and fiction given women's experience. There is also her wise advice which underpins all the musings: for a woman to be creative, she must have money and a room of her own. This dramatisation is based on two papers read originally by Virginia Woolf to the Arts Society."
