ACTIVITY OUTLINE:
A recorded live theatre performance of Belvoir’s 2020 stage production of A Room of One’s Own is available for schools to stream online.
Written by Virginia Woolf
Adapted for the Stage by Carissa Licciardello & Tom Wright
Directed by Carissa Licciardello
It started as a lecture to a group of women in the nineteen-twenties, and became one of the finest pieces of writing in the last hundred years. Wise, witty, passionate, incisive, the story of women writers and the rooms in which they write.
Carissa Licciardello’s impressive mainstage debut brought the famous essay into bold theatrical clarity, with a virtuosic central performance by Anita Hegh. Now a limited chance for those who missed out.
★★★★ “…nothing less than transcendental.”
THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
“A superb text for performance.”
THE AUSTRALIAN
“[Anita] Hegh is superb.”

Presenter Bio
Based in an old factory on Gadigal land, Sydney, Belvoir is one of Australia’s most celebrated and beloved theatre companies. Since 1984, when a group of 600 theatre-lovers came together to buy a theatre and save it from becoming an apartment block, Belvoir has been at the forefront of Australian storytelling for the stage. Each year the company presents an annual season of shows for this now-iconic corner stage. New work and new stories sit at the centre of Belvoir’s programming, alongside a mix of reinvented classics and international writing, and a foundational commitment to Indigenous stories. In short, Belvoir is about theatrical invention, an open society, and faith in humanity.
Under the leadership of Artistic Director Eamon Flack and Executive Director Aaron Beach, Belvoir engages Australia’s most prominent and promising theatre-makers. Belvoir has nurtured the talents of artists including Cate Blanchett, Simon Stone, Leah Purcell, Benedict Andrews, Tommy Murphy, Kate Mulvany, Geoffrey Rush, Anne-Louise Sarks, Wesley Enoch, S. Shakthidharan, and former Artistic Director Neil Armfield. Landmark productions include Counting and Cracking, The Wild Duck, FANGIRLS!, Cloudstreet, Barbara and the Camp Dogs, The Drover’s Wife, The Glass Menagerie, Angels in America, Keating!, The Sapphires, and many, many more. Belvoir regularly tours nationally and internationally.
