Wives”, Jaclyn Backhaus’ smartly satiric and forthrightly feminist play, deconstructs the way in which women are “supposed” to behave, think, and feel about each other, and retells three historical episodes typically told through the male gaze, but this time from the perspective of the “wives”.

Smart direction and design, and a stellar cast, make this fresh, original, and urgently-now play a must see of the fall season.
