Description
Get your groove on. This classic play is reimagined for the late 1960s, when women’s liberation was rising, social norms were shifting, and everything was groovy.
This adaptation drops Maugham’s sharp social comedy into the vibrant, swirling world of the late 1960s—a moment when women were questioning marriage, autonomy, and identity with new fire. In this story Constance Middleton, the stalwart wife of a philandering Harley Street doctor, starts reassessing her life and her choices both past and present. Her decisions are bold and surprising to herself and everyone who knows her. Through it all, Constance emerges as a heroine who discovers her power in a world buzzing with change.
Age ranges represent playable age, not actor age.
All roles open to all ethnicities.

We're getting our Pride on a little early this year and we're asking our LGBTQIA+ community for help. We want to try something new.
We want to amplify your voice and your experience. What art moved you because it felt like you? What music is the soundtrack of your life? What did you read that said "this author really gets me"?
We'll be curating a list of recommended reading, listening and viewing and then publishing them throughout the month so that the part of our community that is not LGBTQIA+ can experience a different perspective. Yours!
If you want to participate, simply send your recommendation to lisa@marionartcenter.org. If you want to include why you recommend a particular piece, we'll publish that too. If not, and prefer anonymity, that's also cool.
We welcome everyone to Pride this June.
