Previs is a useful tool in clarifying imagery, look/ tone and feel. It will also be helpful when recreating older worlds that have almost passed out of living memory. All that divides is a timeline and our attitude to improving the future.

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 under the Hogarth press are explored in Fame and Rapture, a new play performed at the Cockpit theatre this autumn.

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.

#Katherine #Mansfield was born on this day in 1888 in #Wellington, New Zealand. One of #modernism's important #writers, Katherine was one of six siblings. She returned to London in 1908 after a short time in NZ she was determined to become a writer.

Happy 137th! Katherine Mansfield!

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 whilst checking I didn't take anything with me I shouldn't....#woolf #mansfield #modernism #britishlibrary

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.

This is one of Virginia Woolf's desks - bought over 100 years ago from Heals on Tottenham Court Road- this one sits in the writing shed at the bottom of the garden at Monk's Cottage. She hoped to host Katherine Mansfield but she was abroad as her health was failing. #writers #Fame and #Rapture

Writers can writer anywhere ... right? Katherine Mansfield had many desks that were not always 'desks' in the traditional sense - coffee tables, kitchen tables, borrowed furniture.

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 getting work published was mixed with the guarded relationship they shared. #Woolf #Mansfield

The letter below is dated from 1921, a bit after the action of Fame and Rapture.

Katherine and Virginia corresponded on and off for years until her death in 1923. What these letters show is the respect Virginia had for Katherine's writing. #modernists #KatherineMansfield #VirginiaWoolf
