Miss Brill in the Begonia House

"...it was so brilliantly fine—the blue sky powdered with gold and great spots of light like white wine splashed over the Jardins Publiques.”

Miss Brill’s regular Sunday visit to the gardens is the highlight of her week. She delights in watching the crowd, eavesdropping on the conversations of those around her and listening to the music. She feels like the gardens are a stage and she is one of the actors. But this Sunday, something happens that might change Miss Brill forever.

Join us at the Begonia House for free readings of Katherine Mansfield's story 'Miss Brill'. You might even like to wear your Sunday best, just like Miss Brill!
