I’m Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Too follows Victoria (Coline Atterbury), a writer in the grip of a manic creative surge. As her obsession with Virginia Woolf deepens, fiction and reality blur — until she begins to believe she is Virginia.

Entangled in a love triangle with Mark (Charlie Coombes-Roberts), a restless drifter, and Leon (Andrew Hawley), a sharp-witted academic, Victoria’s desires refuse easy categorisation. The triangle reflects both her queerness and her fragmentation, blurring boundaries between friendship, love, and obsession as she unravels in a world where ambition and mental illness collide.

Threaded loosely with Woolf’s stories and themes, the play explores bipolar disorder, identity, and relationships, combining emotional intensity with humour.

This play seeks to challenge stigma without sensationalism or cliché. Rooted in lived experience, it invites empathy rather than judgment, bringing visibility to a condition too often misunderstood or misrepresented.

By placing Victoria in dialogue with Woolf, an iconic literary figure widely believed to have lived with bipolar disorder, the play mirrors the tension between creativity and mental illness while questioning how society frames both — especially for women.
