Listen to an MP3 interview with Juliet Stevenson.

"This production by Nicolas Soames is a triumph…Juliet Stevenson's reading of this peerless text is passionate and incisive." --Gramophone

"Juliet Stevenson's in good form with 'To the Lighthouse,' well suited in its symphonic structure to the CD format. Grieg and Delius are used to great effect." --The Independent on Sunday

To The Lighthouse is Virginia Woolf’s most accomplished novel, and her most autobiographical. It tells of one summer spent by the Ramsay family and their friends in their holiday home in Scotland. Offshore stands the lighthouse, remote, inaccessible, an eternal presence in a changing world. A projected visit to the lighthouse forms the heart of this extraordinary novel which, through the minds of the various characters, explores the nature of time, memory, transience and eternity. The style has the clarity of a diamond which shimmers in the mind, making To The Lighthouse one of the most unforgettable novels of the twentieth century.
