At the Bay – by Katherine Mansfield

Welleseley College 611A Marine Drive, Days Bay, Lower Hutt, New Zealand

Wellesley College at Days Bay is the perfect setting for the first screening of this production. It is one of the few buildings that survive from 1908, when Mansfield stayed at her parents’ cottage at nearby Downes Point. Known then as Days Bay House, a hotel, the impressive facade of the main building is much the same today. The feature is a new production by local film maker Simon Hoyle (Southlight) and includes actors from Eastbourne’s Butterfly Creek Theatre Group. Directed by Anne Manchester, it also draws on many contemporary images of the setting for “At the Bay”, chosen by historian Alison Carew. Mansfield scholar
