After a celebrated 8-year exploration into the world of Anton Chekhov, Theatre Smith-Gilmour once again embraces the world of a writer through their short stories with the world premiere of The Mansfield Project. A contemporary of D.H. Lawrence, New Zealand-born Katherine Mansfield (1888-1923) was considered one of the best short story writers of her period and was the only writer Virginia Woolf admitted to ever being jealous of. Katherine Mansfield's mysterious and delicate worlds are full of passion, love, sexual awakening, innocence, longing, death and loss. She touches the heart and gives us a glimpse of the essence of life.
