The Constant Wife

Santa Clara Players

May 16-June 7, 2008

Avg. Event Rating (4.1 Stars): Add Review/Comment

This brilliant comedy of modern English life has been produced in New York and on the road. It is a sophisticated play based on the idea that so long as a wife is supported by her husband it is up to her to be faithful to him, but if the husband is not faithful to her and if she supports herself she is entitled to lead her own life in her own way.

    My husband and I attended a Saturday Night showing of The Constant Wife on our recent anniversary. We were so pleasantly surprised to enjoy a witty, sarcastic, intelligent, and well-played dramatic presentation. All actors involved were perfect for the part, and the emotion was so raw you felt as if the situations were happening to you! I felt as if, for just a few hours, I was transported to another world, where I was secretly witness to an amazingly complex, twisted and surprising turn of events, that should, in all honesty, be of a private nature. The show was impeccable! Collapse

    This is a production that is dotted with arbitrary blocking, and some major inconsistancies and certainly some confusing choices, but a few standout performances and a wonderful script certainly makes this an enjoyable evening of light chuckles. Though I think it would have suited the production better to underplay the quintessentially British humor, rather than error on the side of meoldrama, still, I found the charming dialogue enough to carry this community production.
