Kingston: Theatre Kingston presents “What a Young Wife Ought to Know” January 30-February 17

Monday, January 14, 2019

It's 1920s working-class Ottawa, and young wife and mother Sophie (Anna Sudac) is the host of the evening. We are immediately situated in her mysterious, somewhat supernatural world where Sophie speaks directly to the audience, desperate for answers about marriage and contraception: WHAT A YOUNG WIFE OUGHT TO KNOW.Moscovitch plants the play's ending at its beginning, but never gives away the specifics of the stunning conclusion as Sophie's story unfolds. We know her deceased sister (Alexandra Montagnese) will speak to her. We know her stable-boy husband Johnny (Jesse MacMillan) makes very little money. We know that Sophie does not want more children. Directed by Theatre Kingston's New Artistic Director, Rosemary Doyle
