THE WAVES is an adaptation of Virginia Woolf's most textured and dream-like stream-of-consciousness novel. The story follows six friends who advance from childhood through old age together, unable to live in harmony but reunited when old ties bring them back into each other's lives like waves on a shore. Woolf's many-layered poetic searching asks deep questions about the nature of friendship, loss, beauty and insanity.
Created expressly for The Bloomsbury Group's yearlong celebration and a world premiere at Duke University.
