It's April 1st, from your city to your ears. This is Edinburgh News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. The Royal Shakespeare Company just dropped a fresh take on Somerset Morgom's classic comedy, The Constant Wife, adapted by playwright Laura Wade, and it's landing smooth like a perfect verse. This version keeps the Roaring 20s vibe intact, capturing that era when love and marriage rules were shifting fast after the suffragettes shook. Things up. Audiences are digging the Gentile surface with all that underlying tension, resentment, anger, even a bit of relief bubbling just below in this. Feminist period piece. Critics call it comfortable and true to form, blending manners with sharp social jabs on inequality and wedlock. Catch it at the festival theater through Saturday, April 4th, before it wraps, prime spot for some culture theater vibes.
