Based on Elizabeth Gaskell’s 1860’s serial novel and adapted by UBC Theatre and Film Professor, Jacqueline Firkins and directed by former Caravan Theatre and alumna Courtenay Dobbie, Wives and Daughters tells the story of seventeen-year-old Molly, the daughter of a country doctor whose life gets turned upside down. When an overbearing stepmother and an impetuous stepsister move in, they bring with them a unique talent for improving people and a wealth of secrets. A feminist ahead of her time, Gaskell tackles the meaning of love in all its forms and the limitations society places on women as they pursue their desires.
