It’s over now, but if you had the opportunity to see A Good Day: Love, Death and Virginia Woolf on stage at the Royal Northern College of Music Studio Theater in Manchester, England, it seems likely you would have given it a good rating.

Remotegoat did. The UK site gave the play four stars.

Reviewer Frank Hill’s overwhelmingly positive response can be summed up by this statement: “A Good Day tackles a difficult subject, but with a strong cast and sensitive direction from Helen Perry this proved to be a reflective and thoughtful evening at the theatre, which, like the author’s work itself, raises as many questions as it answers.”

Stuart N. Clarke, regular poster to the VW Listserv, keeper of an extensive Woolf and Bloomsbury bibliography, and editor of volumes five and six of The Essays of Virginia Woolf, was in the audience. In an early morning message to the list, he complimented the poetic quality of the script and the fact that it presented Woolf as a great writer.

The new play, described as a dramatic love story that gives a mesmerising and compelling view of Woolf’s final hours, according to producers Brian M Clarke and Tom Elliott, was produced in honor of the 70th anniversary of Woolf’s death.

The play had a short run, April 14-16, and was promoted by Beat Productions.

Thirty-four essays by Virginia Woolf will be reprinted for the first time when Stuart N. Clarke publishes Volume VI of Woolf’s essays, he reports via the VW Listserv.
 
The new essays, most of which Clarke describes as “fairly short,” will be among the 53 that will be included in the new volume. All date from 1906 to 1924 and were discovered since the publication of Vols I-IV of The Essays of Virginia Woolf.

Nearly all are listed in the fourth edition of A Bibliography of Virginia Woolf, 4th ed., by B. J. Kirkpatrick and Clarke, published in Oxford by the Clarendon Press in 1997.
