Major Barbara
by George Bernard Shaw
directed by Lisa Peterson
Barbara is a major in the Salvation Army -- and also the daughter of Andrew Undershaft, a man who made millions profiting from the sale of war munitions. The real war exists in the struggle between a domineering father and an independent daughter as they wrestle with the question: does salvation come through faith or finance? What happens when father and daughter clash is the magic of this delightfully smart, funny and timely play by the always witty and thought-provoking George Bernard Shaw.
