About this listen

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

Starring (in alphabetical order):

Paul Gutrecht as Frank Gardner
Kaitlin Hopkins as Vivie Warren
Shirley Knight as Mrs. Warren
Basil Langton as Rev. Gardner
Dakin Matthews as Sir Crofts
Robin Sachs as Praed

The haughty laughter in the background was a little distracting, but overall I found the performance quite engaging. It might have been overly dramatic, but it was lively and enjoyable. Worth a listen.

Enjoyable!
