“Who needs evolution when you have plastic surgery?”
As Charles Darwin sips banana smoothies in a Malibu beach house, his old friend Thomas Huxley, and his old nemesis the Bishop of Oxford, renew the fight over the origins of life, ignoring the trifling matter of their deaths over a hundred years ago! A comic fantasy with a topic even more relevant now– well, all we can say is; get out the suntan lotion, because the argument is as scorching as the California sun!

“The child who doubts about Santa Claus has insomnia.
The child who believes has a good night's rest.”
A brilliantly witty story of faith versus reason. Chesterton, the master of paradox and author of the famed Father Brown mystery stories, presents the dire consequences of losing, not one’s belief, but one’s skepticism. A great play not seen in the USA for decades.

“What J. Edgar doesn’t know won’t hurt him.”
“Hoover knows everything. He’s like Santa.”
A madcap, irreverent farce of spy versus counter-spy, set in the cold war and involving everything from the H-Bomb to the FBI to Joseph McCarthy’s daughter! Irreverent and hilarious, and by the writer of some of the Stage Guild’s biggest hits: Incorruptible, An Empty Plate in the Café du Grand Boeuf, and Opus.

“I am Prime Minister for the same reason that all Prime Ministers have been Prime Ministers: because I am good for nothing else.”
Government in gridlock! Parties refusing to compromise! A charismatic leader ruling as much by personal appeal as by principles! No, not the present day-- Shaw's "political extravaganza," written in the past and set in the future, is amazingly topical and as funny as it is foresighted. The Stage Guild presents GBS for the twentieth time! |
