A single day becomes the entirety of a life in Virginia Woolf’s enduring exploration of a woman’s soul and purpose. As society hostess Clarissa Dalloway prepares for a party, she also reflects hour by hour on her past, her secret burdens, her safe marriage, and other compromises that have brought her to this moment in time. But elsewhere in London, a stranger, a damaged World War I veteran, makes irreversible choices of his own - choices that will intrude on Mrs. Dalloway’s reverie before the night is over.

Reviewed: 07-05-23
Virginia Woolf is a master of the mind. She manages to tell a story of the complexities and interconnected elements of people’s lives within the span of one day. From lost love, marriage, and suicide, she touches on those most sentimental moments and the inner monologues that accompany them. Something as simple as throwing a party, trivial as it seems, is penetrated by inspirations, hurts, wants and expectations. She reminds us of the gentle, yet complex and destructive characteristics of our own minds. Brilliant.
