Previs is a very useful tool in look, tone and feel - this is important for storytellers. It will also be helpful when recreating older worlds that have almost passed out ofmemory. I have a couple of spare seats left if you are in creative fields. @cockpittheatre

#Bloomsbury is synonymous with Virginia Woolf. The area was a favourite of contemporaries as they set up the Omega workshop in 1913. Her early days of publishing the Hogarth press are explored in Fame and Rapture, a new play at the Cockpit theatre this autumn. #Virginiawoolf

Virginia and Leonard Woolf moved to Monks Cottage 1919. Woolf walked the downs daily and Leonard was a keen gardener.  A new play,  Fame and Rapture explores this world. #virginiawoolf #Katherinemansfield #modernism #bloomsbury #writers Image credit from Paris Review

Katherine Mansfield was born on this day in 1888 in #Wellington, New Zealand. She went to boarding school in London around 1903 and returned in 1908 after a short time in NZ where she was determined to become a writer. Happy 137th 🎂 🥳 #NewZealand #20thcenturywomenwriters

Katherine Mansfield's home in Hampstead.

This weekend I took a bit of a road trip (on foot) around the British Library and Katherine Mansfield's Hampstead. As I left one of the Humanities reading rooms, Virginia Woolf bid me farewell checking I didn't take anything with me I shouldn't....#woolf #mansfield #modernism

The only person that Katherine #Mansfield could truly rely on - she was there for the good times and the rough times. #friendship #writers #modernism Ida Baker

Rare copies of first and second editions of #Prelude by Katherine Mansfield. Hand printed by #VirginiaWoolf - The beginnings of the Hogarth Press. Discover their dynamics in my new play Fame and Rapture. #Modernism #KatherineMansfield Image from Paris Review Sarah Butler, 2018

This is one of Virginia Woolf's desks - bought over 100 years ago from Heals on Tottenham Ct Road- this sits in the writing shed in the garden at Monk's Cottage Rodmell. She hoped to host Katherine Mansfield but by this time she was living abroad. #writers #Fame & #Rapture

Writers can writer anywhere right? Katherine Mansfield had many desks that were not 'desks' in the traditional sense; coffee tables, kitchen tables, borrowed furniture. We see her below at a work table in France.  photo credit: Ida Baker in 1920 National Library of NZ. #plays

This bookish staircase at Woolf's house in Rodmell leads to the upstairs rooms of the cottage. She moved to this house and fell in love with the watermeadows adjacent. #VirginiaWoolf #KatherineMansfield 'Fame and Rapture'

'There is no feeling to be compared with the feeling of having written and finished a story.'  In Fame & Rapture, Katherine has tea with Virginia who is publishing her story Prelude. The satisfaction in collaboration was mixed with their guarded relationship. #Woolf #Mansfield

The letter below is dated from 1921, a bit after the action of #Fame and #Rapture. Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf corresponded on and off for years until her death. #modernism  #KatherineMansfield #VirginiaWoolf

Rodmell village, home to Virginia #Woolf and her cottage Monks house. #Katherine #Mansfield visited at a previous cottage and was due to visit again but was unwell. I'll be sharing more on these writers in the lead up to my showing of Fame and Rapture - a new play #writing
