A painfully comic excavation of a family history that asks if there
is an authorised version of the past - or just the one we can live
with. Kate Bane returns home to her parents for a winter weekend to
introduce her new boyfriend. As the snow falls, Kate finds herself
searching with increasing desperation for the truth about her
family's past. Are her memories fact, or are they continually
shifting acts of imagination? Unable to pin down the truth, can she
write a version of the family mythology that will ensure her own
happiness? Ella Hickson's play The Authorised Kate Bane first
performed at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, in October 2012 in a
production by Grid Iron Theatre Company. It then transferred to the
Tron Theatre, Glasgow.
