Major Barbara By George Bernard Shaw

A tale of rich privilege and a battle of wills. All wrapped up in a romance, the return of a long lost father and a little matter of finding a foundling to carry on the Undershaftarms and gunpowder empire.

Starring Eleanor Tomlinson and Rebecca Front.

Written in 1905, George Bernard Shaw's classic is funny, enjoyable and crafty in dividing opinion and it leaves you pondering whether anything has changed over the years.

At its heart - a simple and intriguing conflict: the struggle between arms manufacturer Andrew Undershaft and his Salvationist daughter Barbara. Can a father win his daughter's heart and mind?

All the best things about Shaw are here - the humour, the teasing paradoxical thinking and the sense of life being both absurd and deadly serious. How should people be ruled and how should they be helped? And who is really pulling the strings in the struggle for power - politicians or money?
