Misalliance

By George Bernard Shaw
Directed by Ethan McSweeny
Performed in the CFA Studio Theatre

“I do so want something to happen.”

Feisty disagreements between parents and children are inevitable, particularly when discussing mating, marriage, morality or the proper care of guests who literally crash through the conservatory ceiling.  Shaw’s marvelous comedy finds John Tarleton, the underwear king, and his independent-minded daughter, Hypatia, tangling with a passel of guests—both invited and uninvited—and with a parade of hilarious debates revolving around the superiority of the female sex,  the state of social class, and the madness of love and lust.
