About this show

Have you heard of Katherine Mansfield before? Probably. Did you know she’s a literary icon in Aotearoa? Most likely. What about the fact that she was a big old queer? …perhaps not.

Basement Theatre are hosting a play-reading of a new work Connor is developing about Katherine Mansfield and the queer lovers of her life, Maata Mahupuku, Ida Baker and Connor's Great-Great Aunt Edith Bendall (turns out this shit’s genetic!)

Early 1900's, Te-Whanganui-a-Tara, Wellington. A young Katherine Mansfield struggles to confine her sexuality in a tightly laced society. Eventually banished from her upper-class family due to her indiscretions, she navigates the hedonistic underbelly of London’s queer literary scene. Finding love, loss and liberation - leading to her breakthrough success and untimely end.
