"You can't apply logic to everything."
It's luncheon in the garden and while the beehive has been emptied, there's something extra in the soup. This recent London hit offers a stinging look at an anything-but-typical family group in Moreton-on-the-Mold, where some find astrophysics funny!

If all the world is, indeed, a stage, are we the cast, the audience, or the critics? This season, join The Washington Stage Guild as we offer four great writers a chance to play the fundamentally theatrical game of make-believe. With a world premiere about one of modern time's most complicated poets, a riotous look at reality and its effect on faith, Mr. Shaw's look at the follies of idealism, and finishing with a family struggling to find harmony not only in their own lives, but in the universe, ---it promises to be the kind of exciting season full of language and ideas that audiences have come to expect from the Stage Guild.

--John MacDonald, Producing Artistic Director

"Our own minds have successfully resisted all our
mother's efforts to improve them."
Nothing is harder for a social pioneer than to discover she's become old-hat! One of Shaw's earliest successes, this comedy that begins with laughing gas and ends at a masquerade ball is a romp at the seaside where the Clandons, children of "The New Woman," have to face some old-fashioned urges.

"You are a pagan with an attitude problem."
Subtitled A Dark Comedy About the Dark Ages, the brothers of the monastery of Priseaux, France have a big problem. Saint Foy, their Patron Saint, hasn't worked a miracle in thirteen years. The pilgrims have stopped coming, and all seems lost until a larcenous, one-eyed minstrel makes an inspired suggestion-and suddenly miracles, of sorts, do happen! A rollicking romp through medieval Europe!
