Synopsis The Constant Wife
is a delicious drawing room comedy that touches on the one fact of
marriage Maugham deems almost inevitable: infidelity and what to do,
or not do, about it Notes
Maugham's The Constant Wife debuted at Maxine Elliott's
Theater November 29, 1926 with Ethel Barrymore in the lead. The show
has been revived four times. Katharine Cornell produced as well as
played Constance in a 1951 production at the National Theater; and
Ingrid Bergman starred opposite Jack Gwillim at the
Shubert
Theater in 1975. But the most unusual revival is the first, a
German-language production titled Finden Sie, dass Constance sich
richtig verhaelt? (very loosely translated as "Do you find
that Constance behaves correctly?"), by the Players from Abroad at the Barbizon-Plaza Theater
on Central Park South in 1946. Appropriately, Leopoldine Konstantin played Constance. (On a side note, that same
year Ms Konstantin also played with Ms Bergman in the great film
Notorious) |
