Drama. Taking place in a time of passion and confusion, in a time when the typewriter and the suffrage movement were sending things topsy-tury (circa 1885), Age of Arousal is a lavish, sexy, frenetic ensemble piece about the forbidden and gloriously liberated self - genre-busting, rule-bending, and ambitiously original. This edition will contain a substantial amount of contextual material: notes from the playwright and from director Karen Hines, and a series of essays on Victorian women's politics, sexuality and pornography." Griffiths is one of Canada's "originals" known not only for the quality of her work, but for the sheer range of her career" - Maclean's.
