She’s the boss. They just don’t know it yet.
Constance Middleton cheerfully plays her traditional role as the intelligent, charming housewife of a successful doctor. But as her friends and family keep secrets close to their chest, she has nothing to hide — and everything to gain.
Featuring an infectiously plucky heroine at the helm who Variety calls a predecessor “to the women of Desperate Housewives and Sex and the City,” this cheeky satire overturns the expectations of relationships, fidelity and social roles that were just as relevant in the 1920s as they are today. The Constant Wife is the contagious classic comedy you don’t want to miss!
DCPA alum Shelley Butler (Human Error, The Most Deserving) returns to direct.
