Publicity 2023
Katherine Mansfield’s greatest story, At the Bay, is celebrated in a short photographic tribute, combining historical images and selected episodes from the story.
The film is a new production by local photographer Simon Hoyle and includes actors from Eastbourne’s Butterfly Creek Theatre Group. Directed and narrated by Anne Manchester, it also draws on many contemporary images of the setting for At the Bay, chosen by local historian Alison Carew. The production is accompanied by music for cello and piano composed by Mansfield’s friend Arnold Trowell.
Mansfield scholar and musician Martin Griffiths (cello), together with pianist Sherry Grant, will perform pieces by Arnold Trowell and Mansfield’s favourite composers, while author Redmer Yska will talk about his new book, Katherine Mansfield’s Europe: Station to Station.
