Orlando is spoiled by woke commentary
Could do without the woke dialogue. it doesn't need it. Let it stand as it should.

I try real hard to appreciate Woolf!
Alas, I still struggle greatly to enjoy any of her work. This novel was very inciteful, fun to listen to the Muses but that is were it ends with me.

Wonderful production...
A truly enchanting production of an ageless classic, that you could listen to again and again.

Stunning
Beautifully played, modernised but only just enough not to lose the original story. Will be relistening.

Orlando
Great perfornance, brilliant background music and effects and the way in which the novel has here been adaptated into a four-episode podcast was great but listeners should be aware that this is not the novel in it's entirety; it is probably closer to the novel with regards to its content than is the movie starring Tilda Swinton, however.
Orlando: A Biography is a difficult enough read if one has not read Woolfs previous novels such as Mrs Dalloway and To The Lighthouse and Woolf herself struggled with the writing of it past the point of the protagonist's transformation (see Sexual Personae by Camille Paglia for more on this).
Nevertheless, the essense of the story is here captured and made accessible.

Delightful
Exceptional performance, sublime story, otherworldly author. I cannot fathom to understand how daring must have been anting to publish this kind of work. My applause to Virginia Woolf. Enchanted by this adaptation.

Powerful
My first Virginia Woolf book. The dramatisation is powerful. The subject matter is so beautifully treated and I am going to listen to this again and again.

Excellent
It is more a play than an audible. It goes beyond functional. A charming production.

Too many narrators gets in the way
Love the book, and the film by Sally Potter. Found this frustrating - three abstract narrators puts a lot of distance between you and the main character. Found it hard to warm to anyone, and felt that Orlando’s transition was being signposted rather early. Gave up during the first episode I’m afraid.
