Don’t Talk to Me Like I’m Your Wife

By Andrea Scott

Unbeknownst to her, Mata Hari is to be executed tomorrow by the French military for being a spy. In the meantime she fights with her Senegalese-French cellmate, Helene Thibadault, who is tired of sharing space with an insufferable dreamer. Discussions about sex, love, loyalty, and apples ensue while Soeur Leonide attempts to counsel them both. 100 years later self-described feminist, history Professor Christopher Locke, tangles with Karen Sinclair who challenges his ideas of what it means to be a feminist & a black woman in contemporary North America. Don't Talk to Me Like I'm Your Wife is 90 minutes that will have you shaken and stirred.
