À propos de ce contenu audio

 In Verge, Susan Glaspell masterfully explores the constraints imposed on women by Victorian society, capturing their feelings of entrapment in roles that stifle their true selves. Although initially dismissed by critics for its unconventional speech and expressionistic style, the play has been revitalized by feminist theorists who recognize its significance in the evolution of theatre. Set against the backdrop of the early 1920s, a time when womens voices were beginning to rise against domestic expectations, Verge offers a poignant reflection on the struggles faced by women yearning for autonomy. It also delves into the eras fascination with Freudian theory, as psychoanalysis and dream interpretation surged into popular discourse. Join us in rediscovering this compelling work that resonates with themes of identity and liberation.
