CANDIDA

By George Bernard Shaw
Directed by Jonathan Moscone
August 10-September 4

Who will housewife Candida choose—her middle-aged clergyman husband or the young poet hoping to whisk her away from the life he deems beneath her? As always with Shaw, neither the answers nor the questions are clearly cut. On the heels of directing critically-acclaimed productions of Clybourne Park at A.C.T. and the world premiere of Ghost Light in Ashland, Cal Shakes Artistic Director Jonathan Moscone returns to tangle with Shaw for the first time since 2007’s smash-hit Man and Superman, pulling new human truths from the brilliance of this modern master.

RUN TIME: Two hours (including two 10-minute intermissions)
