By George Bernard Shaw
September 7 – October 21, 2018
(Previews September 7-September 15)
"It is probably the wittiest play he ever wrote, the most flawless technically, and in spite of being a very light comedy, the most telling."
-George Orwell
George Bernard Shaw makes his City Lit debut, staged by the director of this past season’s hit J.B. Captain Bluntschli, a mercenary soldier who is fonder of chocolates than of bullets, hides in the bedroom of heiress Raina Petkoff while escaping from battle—a development that disturbs her fiancé, Major Sergius Saranoff, a swaggering cavalry officer from the other side. Raina calls Bluntschli “my chocolate cream soldier.” Shaw calls Arms and the Man “an anti-romantic comedy.” We call it the funniest play ever written about the Serbo-Bulgarian War.
Directed by Brian Pastor.
