One of the pitfalls of this script is to see it as a "bio-play". While the memories haunt Jean, they barely scratch the surface of her life. To fill in some of the blanks, here are some sites that round out some background:
Lennox Honychurch: This is a must see site, since it is written by a Dominican scholar and features photos of locations described in the play.
Wikipedia entry for Jean Rhys: because shorthand can be useful too.
Guardian Article: useful background and info on BBC series and Pizzichini's biography The Blue Hour (also an excellent read)
More to come as I datamine the interwebs...
