On June 22, 1954 in a secluded part of Victoria Park in Christchurch, Juliet Hulme and Pauline Parker battered Pauline's mother to death. The play examines the passionate friendship between the two girls and the events leading up to the murder. Look one way and it's the story of a provincial New Zealand city being turned upside down by a murder.
It's the story of Christchurch in 1954, restrained and nice with implicit
British attitudes about class and gender, suddenly confronted with evil.
Look another way and "Daughters Of Heaven" is about love - the sweeping away of reason and morality in a crazy tide of two-ness. "we had the right to do what we needed to in the interests of our own happiness" says Juliet Hulme.
This fascinating story was made into the acclaimed NZ film by Peter Jackson, "Heavenly Creatures" in 1994.
