Don't Talk to Me Like I'm Your Wife

By Andrea Scott

Don’t Talk to Me Like I’m Your Wife is a play set in 1917 and 2016 about the last 12 hours of alleged spy Mata Hari’s life before she was executed by the French for espionage. We see Mata Hari 12 hours before her execution and then jump to a lecture room in a university where a professor deconstructs the myth of the notorious alleged WW1 spy while sparring with a student who refuses to accept his opinion of the woman. Alternately about slut shaming, cultural appropriation, racism and differing opinions on what it means to be a feminist,
