Eight of George Bernard Shaw's most memorable plays in one splendid collection:
Mrs. Warrenâs Profession: Shaw pits a clever heroine against a memorable gallery of rogues in this superbly intelligent and still shocking comedy, which was banned for eight years from the English stage after its London debut. Performed by Shirley Knight, et al.
Candida: Shawâs warm and witty play challenged conventional wisdom about relationships between the sexes, as a beautiful wife must choose between the two men who love her. Performed by JoBeth Williams, et al.
The Devilâs Disciple: A young hero who disdains heroism makes the ultimate sacrifice for honor and country during the American Revolution. Performed by Richard Dreyfuss, et al.
Major Barbara: This sparkling comedy traverses family relations, religion, ethics and politics - as only Shaw, the master dramatist, can! Performed by Kate Burton, Roger Rees, et al.
The Doctorâs Dilemma: A well-respected physician is forced to choose whom he shall save: a bumbling friend or the neâer-do-well husband of the woman he loves. Performed by Martin Jarvis, Paxton Whitehead, et al.
Misalliance: A self-made millionaire and his family invite their future in-law for a visit to their estate. In this delightfully clever play, issues of gender, class, politics, and family are all targets for Shawâs keen wit. Performed by Roger Rees, Eric Stoltz, et al.
Pygmalion: Shawâs beloved play about an irascible speech professor who decides to mold a Cockney flower girl into the darling of high society. Performed by Shannon Cochran, et al.
