Barbara is a major in the Salvation Army—but she’s also the daughter of Andrew Undershaft, a man who’s made millions from the sale of weapons of war. The real battle, however, rages between between the devilish father and his idealistic daughter as they answer the question: does salvation come through faith or finance? This sparkling comedy traverses family relations, religion, ethics, and politics as only Shaw—the master dramatist—can. Adapted by Dakin Matthews.

Includes an interview with Ethan McSweeny, an accomplished stage director whose résumé includes an ongoing stint as the co-Artistic Director of the Chautauqua Theater Company.

Recorded before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles in December of 2007.
