Spring of Shaw 
3 performances currently scheduled of
George Bernard Shaw's comedic one-acts,
Overruled & Village Wooing

Picture
"As long as I have a want, I have a reason for living. Satisfaction is death."













Overruled
 A farcical comedy about art and morality, the pruderies of the French stage, the conventions of jealousy and arguments neither for, nor against, polygamy.  Or, in simpler words, a pseudo sex play.

Village Wooing: a Comedietta for Two Voices
A live radio play with actors reading the characters as well as performing the sound effects live.  Each performance will be recorded and then made available for download.

These two outrageously funny comedies are filled with rendezvous, romance and ridiculousness.  Shaw's timeless wit proves that despite the wealth, rank or age of a man and woman, love and lust lead to laughter and levity.
