Cherie Rogers - An Oddly Complete Understanding

Penelope Wilton and Rosalind Shanks play Virginia Woolf and Katherine Mansfield who formed a literary friendship. From May 1990.

Introduced to each other by Lytton Strachey in 1916, the friendship between Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf had to overcome formidable obstacles - the differences of class and culture, the threat of madness and tuberculosis.

But the influence of each on the other was destined, to some degree, to change the direction of women writers this century.

Cherie Rogers' drama stars Penelope Wilton as Virginia Woolf and Rosalind Shanks as Katherine Mansfield.

Producer: John Knight

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 1990.
