Join us for this one-off, public reading of a play in development, written and performed by actor, journalist and broadcaster Elisabeth Easther. When Elisabeth first stumbled upon the writings of ornithologist Perrine Moncrieff - more specifically her 1925 field guide New Zealand Birds and How To Identify Them - she was astonished that Perrine was not better remembered.
To remedy that historical amnesia, A Rare Bird explores the audacious exploits of an extraordinary woman in a male-dominated world, and reveals the vital role Perrine Moncrieff played in conserving the flora and fauna of Aotearoa.
The reading will be followed by a Q&A session.
