Charles Marowitz & Michael Valenti

Published by Samuel French Inc

7 Male 2 Female

Chosen as the best new musical of the year by the Dallas Morning News this camp adaptation of Shaw's burlesque masterpiece employs the sprightly style of a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta

The antics of the agile butler to derail the romance between his aristocratic mistress and a prizefighter unfold with wit and verbal dexterity while rendering Shaw's blank verse in dashing prose that is more natural to modern audiences

"An amusing affair ... [that] maintains the right comic attack for Bashville: stiff upper lip and light on its feet. And not leading with its chin so much as with its tongue in cheek" ~ Dallas Morning News

"Supple lyrics and nimble staging demonstrate the enduring appeal of Shaw.... Valenti's score ... has a multiple personality all its own" ~ Forth Worth Star Telegram.
