Description

A Scottish family's decision to secure their daughter's future leads them to offer a young university student a chance at a better life. In exchange for his education, he agrees to marry Maggie, and her husband John Shand attempts to launch a career in politics. As his reputation grows, thanks in part to his wife's hard work, Shand begins to forget his impoverished roots and dreams of a future all his own. This play by J.M. Barrie is a story of romance, ambition, and humility, offering a witty and critical look at the institution of marriage. First performed in 1908, What Every Woman Knows has been adapted numerous times for film and consistently revived on stage, cementing its place as an enduring work of English theatre.
