BASED ON A TRUE STORY! On June 22, 1954 in a secluded part of Victoria Park in Christchurch, New Zealand, 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 city being turned upside down. It's the story of Christchurch in 1954, restrained and nice with implicit British attitudes 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.
This fascinating story was made into the film "Heavenly Creatures" in 1994.
The play has not been staged in Melbourne before!
