Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes

Centaur Theatre presents a provocative look into the intimate challenges within academia in the #MeToo era, with SEXUAL MISCONDUCT OF THE MIDDLE CLASSES, written by renowned playwright Hannah Moscovitch, and directed by Eda Holmes. This 2021 Governor General’s award winning play re-imagines the teacher-student relationship in an exploration of power dynamics, consent and exploitation through a plot-twisting narrative. Starring Marcel Jeannin and Inès Defossé, SEXUAL MISCONDUCT OF THE MIDDLE CLASSES will be presented November 8 – November 27, 2022 at Centaur Theatre. Jon Macklem is a teacher in the middle of his third divorce. Lonely and ridden with self-loathing, he begins a brief illicit relationship with Annie–his nineteen year old student. Traveling through the complexity of their relationship after the fact, the echo of this pairing reverberates and grows from a rumble to a roar when the #MeToo movement begins to break into the headlines. SEXUAL MISCONDUCT OF THE MIDDLE CLASSES features two perspectives on the same relationship, asking the question, who owns this narrative?
