What a Young Wife Ought to
|
Moscovitch's signature pairing of the ugly and the comedic is at its best blend to date. Young Wife's comedy is clear though not always comfortable – we are often laughing at the very things that make our stomachs turn. – GLOBE & MAIL Ladies, Gentlemen NEED TO SEE THIS PLAY because it shows where we were, the developments that we made and where we need to go now. – BROADWAY WORLD With its focus on pregnancy and childbirth, is SHOCKING and necessary. – TORONTO STAR Candid and intelligent. –NOW MAGAZINE It's 1920s working-class Ottawa, and young wife and mother Sophie is the host of the evening. We know her deceased sister will speak to her. We know her stable-boy husband makes very little money. We know that Sophie does not want more children. |
