The Festival of New Theatre
Mrs Parker
A Playreading

In 1956 New Zealand, a married woman is expected to leave paid employment behind and dedicate herself to home and family. But Jean Parker can't afford to.

With her husband still studying medicine and her public service salary keeping the household afloat, Jean unexpectedly finds herself at the centre of a national fight for equal pay. Navigating political pressure, public scrutiny and the risk of losing everything, she discovers the courage to take her place in New Zealand history.

Inspired by true events, Mrs Parker is a compelling story of determination, justice and the women who helped change a nation.
