The Critic's rave!

"The characters are fascinating conversationalists...Bill Largess couldn't be merrier; Catherine Flye's Dame Laurentia is an excellent foil; David Bryan Jackson is fine as the largely contented, inquisitive culture hound; ...a quick-witted evening ...three generous and often sparlking minds."-Nelson Pressley, The Washington Post

"all very civilized, witty and wise." -Bob Mondello, The City Paper

"a compelling window into the characters of three brilliant writers and thinkers, the Washington Stage Guild production is also a charming salute to an era when letters were a cherished means of communication and friendship was a value worth celebrating." - Barbara Mackay, The Washington Examiner

What did an eminent museum curator, an Abbess, and George Bernard Shaw have to say to each other? Plenty! The Best of Friends gives us Shaw himself, largely in his own words, along with two extraordinary figures from the early 20th century. Sidney Cockerell was the influential curator of Cambridge's Fitzwilliam Gallery, and Dame Laurentia McLachlan was a cloistered Benedictine nun whose work on restoring Gregorian Chant to its intended purity was respected throughout the world. Featuring Washington favorites Catherine Flye, David Bryan Jackson and Bill Largess; Directed by Alan Wade.
