A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf is a gently challenging, provocative and intelligent reflection on gender disparity.

Sentient Theatre's production breathes new life into the history of women and literature in this stage adaptation of Woolf's 1929 essay.

Adapted and directed by Peta Hanrahan, A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf features four performers - Anthea Davis, Anna Kennedy, Jackson Trickett and Marissa O'Reilly - as aspects of Woolf's mind in conversation with herself and the audience.

The work explores gender disparity from a historical perspective, delivering the main themes and ideas from the essay to present-day audiences, while keeping Woolf's language intact and humour alive.

Hanrahan said the work was more relevant than ever.

"I say this without reservation: this is the most important work of my life, bringing the voice of Virginia Woolf back to a contemporary audience," she said.

"Her logic and depth of insight changed everything for me when I was a young artist and now I see around me, again, the urgent need for her words and philosophy for a new generation."

A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf had a sold-out premiere season at La Mama Courthouse in Melbourne during 2016.

In light of Me Too, Time's Up and NOW Australia, the regional tour is timely.
