Lucy Stevens Staged a Virginia Woolf Benefit Performance

A 2022 theatre event in Twickenham supported Aurora Metro's Virginia Woolf statue campaign.

Richmond upon Thames, United Kingdom

Announcement

Actor and singer Lucy Stevens presented a benefit performance of her one-woman play Virginia Woolf: Killing the Angel at The Exchange in Twickenham on July 15, 2022. The event raised support for Aurora Metro's campaign to place a statue of Woolf in Richmond upon Thames, where the writer had lived. The charity's campaign page lists the benefit event and names Stevens and pianist Elizabeth Marcus.

Stevens' production combines Woolf's words with music by women composers from her era. Its focus on the writer's life and the barriers facing women artists connected naturally with the statue project. The original announcement invited people to a specific 2022 performance; that date has passed. The show's own performance diary documents other past performances and is the right place to check for any future presentation.

The charity later reported progress on the statue fundraising effort. Readers interested in the campaign should consult Aurora Metro for its current status, while theatre audiences should consult the production directly for present bookings. This page records the historical benefit rather than presenting an expired ticket invitation as current.
