Daughters of Heaven (2005)
by Michealanne Foster
7 Apr 2005 – 16 Apr 2005
In Christchurch 1954, Pauline Parker and friend Juliet Hulme killed Pauline's mother Honora Riper. While nothing can excuse what happened 50 years ago in this nice, middle-class neighbourhood of Christchurch, Foster's play attempts to explain it, without creating a simple 'good versus evil' scenario. While Daughters of Heaven might seem to be more suited for hell than heaven, Forster's play and Anderson's production enables us to see beyond the 'what' happened and into the 'why.'
