Bernard Shaw’s famous 1905 comedy portrays the conflict between spiritual and worldly power.

Barbara Undershaft is a dedicated young major in the Salvation Army, working among the poor of London’s East End. Andrew Undershaft, the father she has never known, is a millionaire manufacturer of armaments.

Barbara and her Machiavellian father meet and challenge each other to visit their respective places of employment.

Following its 2005 success with Pygmalion, Independent Theatre is delighted to present this most brilliant of social comedies, which will star Anna Steen (Anna Karenina) as Barbara and David Roach (Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird) as Undershaft.
