Modern parallels abound in the plight of Cambridge-educated mathematics wiz Vivie Warren, who discovers that her comfortable upbringing was financed in unspeakable ways. Shaw pits a clever heroine against a memorable gallery of rogues in this superbly intelligent comedy, banned for eight years from the English stage.
Includes an interview with Eda Holmes, the Associate Director of the Shaw Festival Theatre in Ontario, Canada.
Recorded live before an audience at the DoubleTree Suites, Santa Monica in March of 1996.
