Set in 1920s Ottawa, What a Young Wife Ought to Know tells the story of Sophie, a young working-class wife who has a lot to learn about love, sex and birth control.
Hannah Moscovitch's play takes an honest look at the lives of a generation of women that gave birth to the generation that would go on to develop modern birth control. This play is both a vital examination of important women's issues, and a love story that resonates with all audiences. Sophie's journey through womenhood and motherhood is sometimes tragic, sometimes ridiculous and always recognizable.
“By giving the women of the 1920s a voice, Moscovitch has given many contemporary women a voice as well. What a Young Wife Ought to Know is more than a compelling history lesson, it is an opportunity to contemplate the state of sexual health and freedom in our society today.” — The Globe & Mail ***1/2
