Kara Tointon will star in the Royal Shakespeare Company production of The Constant Wife. Penned by Laura Wade, based on the comedy by W Somerset Maugham and directed by Tamara Harvey, the piece will tour the UK from 16 January 2026 before transferring on board the Queen Mary 2 during a transatlantic crossing. Presented by David Pugh and Cunard, the production follows its acclaimed run at the Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon earlier this year. Maugham’s original comedy was written in 1926 and described as “a sparkling comedy of ill manners”. Wade’s new version follows her Olivier Award-winning Home, I’m Darling and her recent television success with Rivals.
