Comedy and drama from beyond the grave, featuring George Bernard Shaw and his leading lady Florence.

She acted in three of his plays. They went for bicycle rides together. He told her she was his “best and dearest love.” And then it was over. What happened between Florence Farr and George Bernard Shaw? Many years later, things have gone topsy turvy. Florence has come back to Shaw’s home after his death. She is conducting a seance, reading from his plays and reminiscing, hoping to invoke the spirit of George Bernard. In a collage of history, fiction and excerpts from Shaw’s plays, Florence is finally going to tell it all.

Staged reading of the first draft: MTC’s Shaw Fest, 2012.
