The Case of Katherine Mansfield Review



The Case of Katherine Mansfield. Downstage Theatre 18 Jan – 3 Feb 2007.
Opening Night, 18th January.

Solo performances are amazing theatre. Women solo performers can be traced back to Ruth Draper who perfected the art with her various women characters. Draper was born in 1884 in New York, a few years before Katherine Mansfield’s birth of 1888. Draper devoted her acting career to the monologue, writing them herself and touring all over the world. She died in 1950 hours after a solo performance in New York.
