Production Description

A recording of an online reading of a new play by Howard Ginsberg.

In 1920 Virginia Woolf’s sister, Vanessa Bell – the distinguished artist and member of the early 20th century circle of artists, writers and intellectuals known as the Bloomsbury Group – painted Mrs Dalloway’s Party. The painting quickly became shrouded in mystery. After a highly praised single exhibition, it vanished for over 60 years until it turned up in a sale of items from Virginia Woolf’s estate. If it was a gift to Virginia why did she hide it away? Vanessa Bell paintings were usually still lifes but this one clearly depicts a narrative. What is the story she wanted to show? Are the figures real people? If so who are they? The preliminary title of Virginia Woolf’s most famous novel, Mrs Dalloway, published five years later, was The Party, so was there a connection between painting and novel?

The Mysterious Gift to Virginia Woolf offers an intriguing explanation for these unanswered questions.
