| Join us for one of Shaw's wittiest and least known plays, written towards the end of his VERY long life. The plot: after WWII, a rich young man (Bryan Batt) decides to venture forth into the world and become a professional 'world betterer.' Along the way he meets the Buoyant heiress, (Veanne Cox) who treats him so curiously that he becomes utterly fascinated by her...and her family. | ||

For St. Patrick's Eve! Join Anita Jaffe for our first Gingold Theatrical Group benefit evening! We're celebrating our fourth boffo year of PROJECT SHAW! Our first benefit gala with an all-star cast and a down home Irish dinner just like mother would have made if she’d been down home and Irish: Corned-beef & cabbage, lamb stew, pudding and plenty of stout and ale! Stars! Irish musicians! Shamrocks! Raffles and auctions! A glorious even ing to be had by all! In O'FLAHERTY V.C., an Irish soldier (Michael Cerveris) has come home to Ireland having been given the royal Victoria Cross for heroism in WWI. His local squire (Brian Murray) is astonished. The only problem is how to keep his mother (Jane Powell) from finding out he was fighting to defend England! It's a rare, wicked and riotous political comedy from Dublin's proudest son, G.B.S.! |

Part Two, which consists of two plays which are completely independent of Part One, begins in the year 3000 and takes us, finally, to the year 31,920! People have begun to be born out of eggs, fully formed, and live more than 300 year old. The question is if the extra time actually makes a difference the way people live, learn, love and contribute. This is the first time the play has been presented in New York in more than fifty years, and the first time in its entirety since 1922. |

ON THE ROCKS

Sir Arthur Chavender, the Prime Minister Hilda Hanways, the PM’s secretary Sir Broadfoot Basham, Miss Flavia Chavender, daughter of Sir Arthur Lady Chavender, wife of Sir Arthur David Chavender, son of Sir Arthur Mayor Tom Humphries Aloysia Brollikins Viscount Barking |
Alderman Blee Mr. Hipney The Lady (and the Narrator) Sir Dexter Rightside, Foreign secretary Admiral Sir Bemrose Hotspot, Mr. Glenmorison, Pres of Board of Trade Sir Jafna Pandranath, The Duke of Domesday, Aristrocrat |
A heart-warming comedy about money, greed, politics and sex. This viciously witty comedy tackles, head-first, the unthinkable concept of a country in the midst of an economic depression. Unemployment, health care, human rights…you name it. It’s a riotous cast of character, assembled as only possible in the imagination of the always surprising G.B.S. |

Scene: The Cabinet Room at No. 10 Downing Street, London, S.W.1.
