Lyric Poetry & Drama

There’s something Constance Middleton’s friends are dying to tell her: her husband is having an affair—with her best friend! Despite their hints, Constance remains ever cool, and seemingly oblivious. Or is she? In this biting comedy of manners, marriages and mistresses from W. Somerset Maugham, Constance—a not-so-desperate housewife—has some ideas of her own about extra-marital activity that surprise everyone in the end.

An L.A. Theatre Works full cast performance featuring:

Kate Burton as Constance Middleton Rosalind Ayres as Barbara Fawcett Mark Capri as Bentley/Mortimer Durham Stephen Collins as Bernard Kersal John De Lancie as John Middleton, F.R.C.S. Jen Dede as Marie-Louise Durham Christina Pickles as Mrs. Culver Kirsten Potter as Martha Culver

Directed by Jeanie Hackett. Recorded before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles in April of 2010.
