Tonight's showing of Orlando adds a layer of irony to the Rockhurst Film Series' "Reel Women" tag. Sally Potter's 1993 film is based on a Virginia Woolf novel whose title character is neither a woman nor a man. In addition to being able to change genders at will, s/he, even more impressively, stays young and vital for several centuries. Along the way, Orlando (played by Tilda Swinton) consorts with the likes of Queen Elizabeth (Quentin Crisp), the daughter of a Russian diplomat and a handsome American (Billy Zane). The mesmerizing confusion begins at 7 p.m. at the Mabee Theater on the Rockhurst campus, 5225 Tracy. Tickets are $3; for more information, call 816-501-4607.
