Repeat this week: show 41

This week's repeat is show 41, the Orlando special, an unusually high-brow endeavour for me. Enjoy the quotes from Antye Greie and Cathie Boyd, plus the, er, breathless readings from the book, hurriedly recorded before I returned it to the local library!

I just found out that the music by AGF and Craig Armstrong that accompanies the interview clips is due for release on her label in February 2011, so consider the show a preview.

Odd Girl Out: show 41

 

Odd Girl Out OR41 by Val_Phoenix on Mixcloud

This week Odd Girl Out went high-brow, celebrating Virginia Woolf's groundbreaking novel, Orlando, which celebrates its 82nd birthday on 11 October. The show featured interviews with director Cathie Boyd and composer Antye Greie, set to music from Theatre Cryptic's production of Orlando. Also on the bill were readings from the novel, songs from Orlanding the Dominant and other suitably literary and gender-bending fare, capped by an appearance from the author herself, commenting on wor-r-rds.

Coming up this week on Odd Girl Out show 41

This week's show is built around Virginia Woolf's 1928 novel, Orlando, about a time-travelling, gender-swopping aristocrat. Much to ponder there. Music includes London noise-pop band Woolf, plus excerpts from Antye Greie (AGF) and Craig Armstrong's soundtrack for the new Theatre Cryptic production of Orlando. With added analysis from Antye Greie, director Cathie Boyd and a special appearance from Ms. Woolf herself. "The wild goose!"
