THE APPLE CART BY GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
October 18 – November 10, 2008
Ruth Page Theater, 1016 N. Dearborn St., Chicago
In The Apple Cart, King Magnus, the very model of a modern monarch in Shaw’s vision of 21st century England, must use all his wit, charm and political skills to avoid a Prime Minister’s attempt to transform him into a powerless puppet. At the same time, he must prevent his mistress’s plan to supplant his Queen and usurp that position for herself, while fending off the desire of the United States to rejoin the British Empire.
WINTER'S TALES

Ruth Page Theater, 1016 N. Dearborn St., Chicago
JOHN BULL’S OTHER ISLAND BY GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

Ruth Page Theater, 1016 N. Dearborn St., Chicago
In John Bull’s Other Island, the world’s most powerful nation, England, thinks it knows what’s best for the “other” island, Ireland. That “other”, robbed of its sovereignty, resources, language and children, still wields the ultimate weapon to defeat its masters; not in the corridors of power but on the battlefield of the human heart.
