Come & learn some interesting Nelson history!
On 18 July 1874, Mrs Charlotte Boseley, landlady of the Bay View Hotel, Wakapuka, was found dead on a sofa at the hotel, under suspicious circumstances. (We believe that the Hotel was sited somewhere between the now Bay View Road and Malvern Avenue, Atawhai).
The drama continues ....
Melodramas revolve around the basic conflict between virtue and vice using one-dimensional stereotypical characters to represent absolute good or absolute evil and devices such as songs, asides (directly address to the audience), title boards and scenic visual effects- all accompanied by incidental music to clear up any doubt.
This play is written by Penny Taylor, who lives in Wakapuaka. She is a member of Histrionics, a not for profit group whose vision is to bring history to life in our community. You can find us on Facebook www.facebook.com...
