Modern parallels abound in the plight of Cambridge-educated mathematics whiz Vivie Warren, who discovers that her comfortable upbringing was financed in unspeakable ways. Shaw pits his clever heroine against a memorable gallery of rogues in this superbly intelligent and still-shocking comedy, banned for eight years from the English stage.

L.A. Theatre Works, a non-profit arts organization, brings distinguished actors together with the world's finest dramatic literature to create superb audio recordings of contemporary and classic plays taped both live-in-performance and in-studio for later broadcast over public radio. A pioneering lab for playwrights, directors and other theatre artists, L.A. Theatre Works is committed to the discovery and development of contemporary work in radio and theatre.
