‘Seduces with a riot of vivid imagery and a firework display of virtuoso acting. Duffy’s writing is deliciously rich, and Marlowe’s interpretations will have you licking your lips.’
The Times
‘Brilliant, witty, subversive… What Linda Marlowe does in performing these poems is remarkable. This never feels like a one-woman show because the poems combine to describe Everywoman – Everywife.’
The Observer
A new stage version of the acclaimed poems that imagine the wives’ perspective of famous men through the ages. From Mrs Faust and Frau Freud to Queen Kong and Mrs Midas, this delightful show slices through history and myth, whilst casting an astute glance over the modern world. Laced with dark humour and acerbic wit, this passionate exposé will enthral lovers of Duffy’s poems and newcomers alike.
Linda Marlowe has enjoyed great acclaim for her previous solo work including Berkoff’s Women.
