I began to write about "what no one believes" when I based a novel on the life of HD, the American poet who spent most of her life in England. I was struck by the fact that she had, during the Blitz in London, begun to have visions of an explosion that might end the world. She saw the mushroom cloud even as the first Atomic bomb was being developed in great secrecy at Los Alamos. But I knew that all the readers who love her poems might feel that she was discredited as a poet if I tried to establish her as a seer. Now, I'm writing a play on the life of the founder of Theosophy, Helena Petrvna Blavatsky, and the same issues are raised. Many people to this day who know little or nothing about her believe she was a fraud.....
