Susan Racket is refined, delicate, and enraptured by her five-days new husband, who loves her equally in return. But when domestic habitation reveals vices that had been hidden during their courtship,only by adopting the manner of the Devil can she reform him. Imitation proves no form of flattery at all.First produced at Laura Keene's Varieties--a groundbreaking theater run by the actress/impressario--My Wife's Mirror is full of literary and topical japes, even as its calling out of double standards is absolutely current.
The reading will be followed by a guest scholar's talk and commentary MY WIFE'S MIRROR is directed by Alex Roe and features Andrew Firda, Charles Jeffries, Greta Quispe, David Logan Rankin, and Barbra Wengerd. Artwork by Medusa Studio.
