AGE OF AROUSAL

April 16 -May 9, 2009  |  Granville Island Stage

By Linda Griffiths
Director Katrina Dunn

In a time of corsets and petticoats, libidos and wits collide thunderously against the backdrop of political and
sexual liberation.



"Endlessly witty, vigourous, funny, and brilliantly inventive" - Calgary Herald

"If you want to have laughs and come away with something to think about, Age of Arousal is just your cup of tea!" - Stage Magazine Online

"Linda Griffiths - one of this country's best playwrights has written a deftly poetic and profoundly witty play in Age of Arousal!" - Toronto Star

Classics in Context: See it with The Constant Wife
Set 40 years after the close of Age of Arousal by Linda Griffiths, Somerset Maugham's The Constant Wife imagines the life of a married middle-class woman and precisely addresses the questions raised about the future of women's rights posed by Griffiths s characters. Looking at these plays side by side, we can examine the challenges of women's growing independence in the home and in society.
