'A stunningly well-crafted show which beguiles as it illuminates the life of an important 20th century feminist icon.’

Two Tigers is a kaleidoscopic musical drama about New Zealand-born modernist writer Katherine Mansfield, who 'lived and died with the Furies at her heels’ and her turbulent love affair with John Middleton Murry, who ensured her legacy.

Truly modern story of 
two literary pioneers

Inspirational quotations from his speeches, autobiography and previously unpublished letters are woven with Sue Casson’s ethereal musical settings of poetry he found inspiring.

Since Sue Casson's musical was first staged for the centenary of Mansfield's birth the reputation of the spirited short story writer has steadily grown, whilst the man who brought her work to public attention is all but forgotten.
