Female figures from the worlds of myths, fairy-tales and history finally get a word in with The World’s Wife; an enchanting stage show based on the poetry collection of the same name from Carol Ann Duffy.
"She (Duffy) reveals the foibles of the great, the ghastly and the ordinary bloke and the sufferings of those closest to them. The result is a melange of history lesson, fairy-tale and modern-day domestic tragedy, with the occasional joke thrown in for good measure. Duffy's poetics are flawless - she never misses a beat, her pace is exhilarating, and her language is original and exciting." - Scotsman
Dragging overlooked characters from the past into modern contexts, World’s Wife is an accessible journey through the dark world of the forgotten female. Using Mephisto’s trademark visceral style the show features characters such as Mrs. Freud, Medusa, Queen Kong and Mrs. Darwin herself. The silent wives are about to speak and their stories are not to be missed. A beauty from start to finish.
