Major Barbara, by George Bernard Shaw
Lady Britomart (Maryann Plunkett) is determined to marry off her children, including the noble Salvation Army Major, Barbara (Krysta Rodriguez), and get them out of the house. This means reuniting with her estranged husband (Daniel Davis), a notorious arms manufacturer and one of the world's wealthiest men. What ensues is a mad comedy in which the many characters battle their way through issues of war, wealth, women's rights, religion, and a distinctly off-kilter view of 'family values.'
"Here is theatre at its theatrical best."-New York Daily News
"Certainly one of Shaw's brightest, slyest, most provocatively outrageous and most timeless comedies."-New York Post
