Let me urge you to see this. I saw this in Edinburgh and it was a highlight of the Festival. It is funny, moving and very imaginative. Linda Marlowe transforms from young to old, comic to menacing..it is excellent.
In case you don't know what it is about : Carol Ann Duffy has written a series of poems which are written from the point of view of famous people's wives - King Midas's wife, Freud's wife, quite a few figures from mythology, Shakespeare's wife..all women who surprise us with their take on things and their husbands....and Linda Marlowe acts them like monologues with a few props, some lighting and minimal effects. Go.
