GENEVA ENGLISH DRAMA SOCIETY
26 February - 1 March at Theatre Pitoeff
THE CONSTANT WIFE, by W. Somerset Maugham
Directed by Jenny Buffle
Somerset Maugham's classic comedy of manners takes us back to the drawing rooms of the 1920s where the emancipation of women was beginning to stir. Constance Middleton, the wife of a wealthy surgeon, is surrounded by friends and relatives all eager to inform her that her husband is having an affair with her best friend, Marie-Louise. No fool, Constance is quite well aware of what is going on, but is determined not to be told. The arrival of a former admirer enables Constance to take a new, objective look at her marriage and to claim a rather unusual form of independence!
