wooing Cast

Village Wooing
A: Brian Murray
Z: Karen Ziemba

Village Wooing, "A comediettina for two voices" in three "conversations," lasts less than an hour, has two characters:
A and Z. A is a misanthropic author who meets Z, a country telephone operator and general store salesgirl, on a world cruise. Against his will, by reason of her common sense and persistence, she marries him when they are later thrown together in her village store.

Excerpt:
Z: My father used to say that men and women are always driving one another mad.
A: That sounds literary. Was your father a man of letters?
Z: Yes: I should think he was. A postman.

How He Lied To Her Husband
She: Karen Ziemba
He: Matt Cavanaugh
Her Husband: Brian Murray

Shaw sends up his own CANDIDA in high comedic style. In the manner of a Lonsdale drawing-room comedy, we meet the glamorous wife who has determinately allowed a beautiful young man to fall in love with her. Romantic letters complete with very specific poetry has been written by the young man, given to the wife, and misplaced. Her husband is now believed to be in possession of the letters…but her husband seems to have a profoundly potent trick up his sleeve.

Excerpt:
SHE: What did you get tickets for? Lohengrin?
HE: I tried; but Lohengrin was sold out for to-night.
SHE: Then what did you get?
HE: Can you ask me? What is there besides Lohengrin that we two could endure, except Candida?
SHE: Candida! No! No, I won't go to it again, Henry. It is that play that has done all the mischief. I'm very sorry I ever saw it: it ought to be stopped. Something should be done to that wretched man who wrote it.
