Full guide →When to go. Head straight out at curtain call. Two-show days are the worst bet at both performances — the cast rests through the matinee and is spent by the evening. A Sunday matinee is the best single bet, because it is a one-show day. In bad weather the barricades sometimes never go up at all.
Who comes out. Anywhere from nobody to most of the cast. Nobody can tell you in advance which three — not us, not the theatre. Treat any list that claims otherwise with suspicion.
What to bring. Tonight’s Playbill and a fine-tip Sharpie, held open to the page you want signed. Ask before you photograph anyone, and keep the pavement clear — it is a working door, not a red carpet.

The Lowdown
It is 1931, Virginia Woolf has the floor, and she has some notes for the patriarchy. Lots of notes. Written in her own words, mostly, since this solo show is built from The Waves, Orlando, To the Lighthouse and A Room of One's Own.
An Audience with Virginia Woolf: Writing One's Mind is a one-woman evening written and performed by Lucy Stevens, who last packed 59E59 with her sold-out Gertrude Lawrence: A Lovely Way to Spend an Evening. This time she gives us Woolf in full flow: sharp, funny, private and fierce, making the case that women need room, money and freedom to make art, and tipping her hat to the writers who came before her.
Margarett Perry directs for Twilight Theatre Company, in the cozy Theater B at 59E59 Theaters on the Upper East Side.
Performances run February 11 to March 14, 2027. Bring the friend who still has a dog-eared copy of A Room of One's Own on the nightstand. They have been waiting for this.
