Mr. Reginald Peacock’s Day

By: Katherine Mansfield

Narrated by: Laura Greaves

What if a single day could expose the quiet unraveling of a man who believes he has everything under control?

In Mr. Reginald Peacock’s Day by Katherine Mansfield, you follow a respected, self-assured teacher whose orderly world begins to fracture beneath the surface. As Mr. Peacock moves through the routines of his day—his classroom, his colleagues, his home—small disturbances ripple outward, revealing tensions he would rather ignore. Beneath his cultivated manners and professional authority lies a growing sense of unease and emotional isolation.

Mansfield exposes the fragile pride of a man clinging to respectability, and the widening gap between appearance and truth. With her signature psychological insight, she transforms ordinary moments into sharp revelations.

Press play and step into one of Mansfield’s most incisive studies of character—where routine becomes reckoning, and a single day brings a carefully maintained identity into question.
