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

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!
