Laura Wade's re-imagining of Somerset Maugham's subversive comedy about a 1920s heroine with a decidedly modern spirit.
I can’t help it if you were careless with your cigarette case. I was extremely careful with your heart
Constance has everything. A loving family, a beautiful home, a fulfilling career, and a husband as devoted to her as he is to his mistress. When her perfect set up is threatened, Constance fights back but refuses to play by the rules. Can she withstand society’s expectations? And can society withstand the force of a woman determined to do things her own way?
Laura Wade (Posh, Rivals) reunites with RSC Co-Artistic Director Tamara Harvey (Pericles) after their Olivier Award-winning collaboration, Home, I’m Darling, to reimagine Somerset Maugham’s subversive comedy, The Constant Wife, in a sparkling new version.
This edition was published to coincide with the RSC production at the Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, in June 2025.
