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.

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.
