ON THE ROCKS
A Political Comedy
Written by George Bernard Shaw in 1933
Scene: The Cabinet Room at No. 10 Downing Street, London, S.W.1.
Act I: July.
Act II: November 10, 9:30am
Time: The Present (1933)
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.
