In this charming and witty play, J.M. Barrie introduces us to Maggie Wylie, a young Scottish woman with a keen intellect and an unshakable determination. Although Maggie may not possess conventional beauty, she possesses a remarkable quality: the ability to make the men in her life shine. When she marries John Shand, a promising but somewhat uninspiring young man, she sets in motion a transformation that will change both their lives.Maggie’s cleverness and unwavering support propel John to political success, but the world believes that it’s John’s brilliance alone that has brought him fame and recognition. In this satirical comedy, Barrie explores the idea that behind every successful man is a woman who quietly and skillfully guides him.As John’s political career advances, he becomes entangled with the glamorous and sophisticated Lady Sybil Tenterden. The competition for John’s affection and loyalty between Maggie and Lady Sybil sets the stage for a battle of wits and wills that will keep audiences captivated.With wit, humour, and a keen understanding of human nature, 'What Every Woman Knows' is a delightful exploration of love, ambition, and the role of women in society. J.M. Barrie masterfully weaves a tale that challenges societal norms and celebrates the extraordinary power that can lie within an ordinary woman.
