Case of Katherine Mansfield, The

Synopsis:
Using Mansfield's own words, taken from her letters, journals and stories, Cormack journey's through the writer's precocious template for living as an 18 year old to her premature death at 34. We share Mansfield's frustration with the parochialism of early New Zealand, the anxiety and elation of her first years in London, the death of her brother and the frustrations of her marriage, the onset of tuberculosis, and above all, her passion for writing, which was to be the sustaining force of her life. - http://www.theatreview.org.nz/reviews/production.php?id=183

Talking of Katherine Mansfield

Synopsis:
During a literary career that abruptly ended with her death from tuberculosis at only 34 in 1923, Mansfield produced what are generally regarded as some of the best short stories in English. She was also a prolific journalist, and kept a journal from the age of 18 to 34 when she died.
