Luxembourg Gardens
By Katie Hims. Katherine Mansfield's last day in Paris, where she is dying of consumption, aged 34, is re-imagined with inspiration from her stories, letters and journals.
For the last five years of her short life, Katherine Mansfield struggled to find a cure for her pulmonary tuberculosis. Very ill, and sometimes hallucinatory, she spends her last day in Paris before resolving to stop writing while she finds a cure. A Mansfieldesque play about Katherine Mansfield.
