Katherine Mansfield season
“Everything has its shadow,” Katherine Mansfield once wrote. Indeed the six stories which have been dramatised for a spe> cial Katherine Mansfield radio series (National tonight) by Julian Dickon bear this out. The themes that run through them illustrate human frailty in all its forms. Almost all of the adult character: are not fully mature and they are all. to some degree, incapable of communicating with each other or coping with the world outside. The first of the six stories, to be broadcast weekly, illustrates the importance of maintaining a social veneer, of doing the right thing no matter how one feels underneath. The main characters in “Pictures” are uppermiddle class, well-bred and well-heeled.
Yet in one way or an» other they are impotent, passive, imprisoned by their affluence and’ upbringing.
