Modern parallels abound in the plight of Cambridge-educated mathematics wiz Vivie Warren, who discovers that her comfortable upbringing was financed in unspeakable ways. Shaw pits a clever heroine against a memorable gallery of rogues in this superbly intelligent – and still shocking – comedy, banned for eight years from the English stage.
An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring Paul Gutrecht, Kaitlin Hopkins, Shirley Knight, Basil Langton, Dakin Matthews and Robin Sachs.

Mrs. Warren's Profession

The blowhards, the know-it-alls, the scrupulous and the impecunious are all targets for Shaw&apos;s incisive wit in his classic satire of the medical profession. A well-respected physician is forced to choose whom he shall save: a bumbling friend or the ne&apos;er-do-well husband of the woman he loves.

The Doctor's Dilemma

One of Shaw&apos;s most enduring works, Pygmalion is an insightful comedy of class relations and perceptions, as played out between a Cockney flower girl and the irascible speech professor who has taken her on as a pet project. Described by critics as «a play of great vitality and charm,» Pygmalion inspired the award-winning stage and film productions of Lerner and Loewe&apos;s musical, My Fair Lady. Adapted for radio by Nicholas Rudall. A Court Theatre co-production.

The Collected Works of Bernard Shaw

Barbara is a major in the Salvation Army-but she&apos;s also the daughter of Andrew Undershaft, a man who&apos;s made millions from the sale of weapons of war. The real battle, however, rages between between the devilish father and his idealistic daughter as they answer the question: does salvation come through faith or finance? This sparkling comedy traverses family relations, religion, ethics and politics as only Shaw-the master dramatist-can. Adapted by Dakin Matthews.

Major Barbara

Never has the Revolutionary War been so entertaining. Shaw stands «do or die» melodrama on its head, with a cast of unforgettable characters, from the deliciously urbane «Gentlemanly Johnny» Burgoyne, to the misguided romanticism of beautiful young Judith Anderson, to the Devil&apos;s Disciple himself, a dashing young American hero who disdains heroism, even as he makes the ultimate sacrifice for honor and country. A co-production with The Smithsonian Associates and Voice of America.
An L.A. Theatre Works full cast performance featuring:
