On Thursday 12 November in the intimate and atmospheric Petersfield Bookshop, a play was performed about May Morris, the daughter and populariser, of William Morris. 

The stunning hour long piece tells May's story and her own importance to her father's legacy as well as her own art.

It's told with different voices, scenic dialogue, mime, guitar, songs, sound effects and audio loops; and remarkably, all performed by a single actor, Isabellla Javor.

Threads of May (a reference to her embroidery expertise at Morris & Co) was first performed at the Camden Fringe this year and made its way to PBS for what the venue offered.

Isabella talks to Mike Waddington about the play.
