About this listen

In this poignant drama, a well-intentioned second wife finds herself in a constant struggle as she faces unfair comparisons to her husbands first wife. The profound themes of power and happiness are encapsulated in Hilary Jesson’s declaration near the end of the play I declare to you that the happy people Ive come across have never been the people who, possessing power, have employed it malevolently or uncharitably. This compelling piece not only garnered acclaim in England but also resonated with audiences as far away as Milan, where an Italian adaptation captivated theatergoers. - Summary by Clayton Hamilton, 1919Copyright Comedy and Fairy Tales Art Drama & Plays Entertainment & Performing Arts
