Wives

Jaclyn Backhaus (Men on Boats) looks at the women behind great men in this satirical three-part historical survey, which brings a distinctly contemporary voice to stories set in 16th-century France, 1920s India and 1960s Idaho. Margot Bordelon directs a cast that comprises Aadya Bedi, Purva Bedi and Adina Verson as the ladies, plus Sathya Sridharan as the gentlemen in their lives.
