The World's Wife at Chesterfield Central Library
Linda Marlowe performs a new adaptation of Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy's poems, imagining the wives' perspective of famous men. From Mrs Faust and Frau Freud to Queen Kong and Mrs Midas, this darkly funny show slices through history and myth, whilst also casting an astute glance over the modern world.
Laced with dark humour and acerbic wit, this passionate exposé will enthral lovers of Duffy's poems and newcomers alike.
