SHAW SHORTS! City Stage New West presents How He Lied to Her Husband & Love Letters to Mrs. Patrick Campbell
Short, sharp, shocking Shaw! Enter the Edwardian drawing room--and boxing ring--of George Bernard Shaw's How He Lied to Her Husband, brought sumptuously to life at exquisite Galbraith Manor. When the gloves come off He, She, and Her Husband hilariously duke it out--but will they survive the match? This gem of a bedroom farce parodies some of Shaw's own real-life shenanigans, as Love Letters to Mrs. Patrick Campbell will amply reveal.
George Bernard Shaw, the only Nobel Prize laureate to also win an Academy Award, was a literary giant of astonishing range whose "rare sense and inspired nonsense" shocked and delighted Victorian sensibilities. A seemingly devoted partner in a sexless marriage, he famously carried on an entertainingly passionate, creative, and conflicted love-affair-by-letters with Mrs. Patrick Campbell--one of the greatest theatrical stars of her time. Selections from 40 years of correspondence tease and tantalize: did they, or didn't they?
