Major Barbara

What happens when the daughter of a brilliant, mercurial, arms manufacturer becomes a Major in the Salvation Army? Well, the sparks and ideas fly, of course, in one of George Bernard Shaw’s most dexterous plays, where we are happily buffeted to and fro, as morals, charity, honour, philanthropy, family and love are all debated with verve and relish by the feisty Major Barbara, the “diabolical” Undershaft, and a bevy of argumentative friends and family members.
